Some of the detainees involved in the disturbance outside Supreme Court Justice Noam Solberg's home have already been sent to a military prison, according to a Haredi community source cited by Eli Hirshman on N12. The move escalates a public standoff between police and radical ultra-Orthodox protesters who had warned that military imprisonment would cross a red line.
Eli Hirshman, a journalist from N12, reported Wednesday afternoon that a Haredi community source stated that some of the detainees arrested for the disturbance outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Noam Solberg have already been transferred to a military prison. The report comes less than an hour after a separate Haredi official told the same outlet that sending the Solberg detainees to a military prison would erase all remaining red lines and trigger protests in unprecedented locations. The standoff has unfolded since last week, when dozens were arrested for rioting and vandalism outside the justice's home. A court earlier on Wednesday ordered the release of 48 of the suspects to house arrest, but the fate of the remaining detainees had been unclear. If confirmed, this military-custody step marks a significant escalation in the authorities' handling of the affair and is likely to deepen the confrontation with radical elements of the Haredi community.
