Large police forces from the Jerusalem district were deployed near the home of Supreme Court President Justice Yitzhak Amit in Mevaseret Zion, citing lessons learned from the security failure during protests at Justice Solberg's home in Gush Etzion, according to Israeli journalist Shlomi Heller.
Police forces from the Jerusalem district have been deployed in Mevaseret Zion, outside the home of Supreme Court President Justice Yitzhak Amit, according to journalist Shlomi Heller. The deployment is a precaution against potential Haredi protests, drawing lessons from the security failure at the home of Justice Noam Solberg in Gush Etzion last week, where protesters stormed the grounds and damaged property. As The Zioneer reported on June 7, 52 individuals were detained in connection with those riots. No protest has begun as of 17:35 Jerusalem time; the deployment is a preventive measure.
