Two journalists — Yoeli Barim of Channel 13 and Daniel Grobajs of Kan 11 — were attacked during a protest in Bnei Brak on Monday evening, according to Channel 12's Haredi affairs correspondent Eli Hirshman. Grobajs documented that a group of agitated protesters followed the pair, forcing them to hide inside Mayanei Hayeshua Hospital until police, who were not present at the rally, arrived.
As The Zioneer reported earlier at 09:44, journalists were attacked during a protest rally against the IDF chief of staff in Bnei Brak on Monday evening.
Channel 12's Haredi affairs correspondent Eli Hirshman shared new documentation of the incident on Tuesday morning, identifying the targeted journalists as Yoeli Barim (Channel 13) and Daniel Grobajs (Kan 11). According to Hirshman, a group of agitated protesters followed the two journalists, forcing them to seek shelter inside Mayanei Hayeshua Hospital until police arrived — noting that police were not present at the protest at the time.
No official police or hospital statement has been released, and details of whether the journalists sustained injuries remain unconfirmed. The protest is part of ongoing ultra-Orthodox demonstrations related to the arrest of military draft evaders, which have seen repeated confrontations with police in recent weeks.
