A masked youth wearing a tzitzit was recorded trying to break into the car of MK Yitzhak Goldknopf in the parking lot of the Knesset member's apartment building, Israel Hayom reports. The motive is unclear; the Knesset sergeant-at-arms has opened an investigation.
A disturbing incident was reported Tuesday evening at the parking lot of MK Yitzhak Goldknopf's (United Torah Judaism) apartment building in Jerusalem. A masked youth wearing a tzitzit (ritual fringes) was captured on video attempting to break into Goldknopf's vehicle. The footage, circulated via social media and reported by Israel Hayom, shows the suspect approaching the car before the attempt was apparently interrupted. The Knesset sergeant-at-arms has launched an investigation; the motive remains unknown as of this report. This follows a recent unrelated incident in which a vehicle belonging to a driver was damaged after a crowd shouted 'run over' (as The Zioneer reported on June 11), though no connection between the two events has been established.
