Journalists were attacked last night during a protest rally against the IDF chief of staff in Bnei Brak, according to a report by Channel 12's Haredi affairs correspondent Eli Hirshman.

According to a report by journalist Eli Hirshman (Channel 12 News), journalists were attacked last night during an anti-chiefs-of-staff demonstration in Bnei Brak. Hirshman shared footage of the attack, though it remains unclear who carried out the assault or whether any journalists were injured. The demonstration — described by Hirshman as an 'incitement rally' — targeted the IDF chief of staff amid ongoing tensions over haredi enlistment. Police have not yet issued a response to the reported attack. As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, haredi protests have at times escalated into clashes with police and, in a few cases, with onlookers and journalists.
