Channel 12 journalist Eli Hirshman reports that protesters are chasing one of the organizers of an IDF enlistment conference in Jerusalem, shouting 'soul murderer' (רוצח נשמות). A photo of the incident has been published.
The incident is the latest in a series of confrontations around the enlistment conference in Jerusalem, where Haredi protesters have mobilized against the event. Earlier this evening, The Zioneer reported that a crowd chased a Haredi man suspected of encouraging enlistment (21:20 Jerusalem). Earlier today, extreme Haredi protesters demonstrated outside the conference venue, shouting at participants. The ongoing protests reflect the deep tensions within the Haredi community over military service. The identity of the conference organizer being chased has not been disclosed, and it is unclear whether the incident has resulted in injuries or arrests.
