TL;DR

At an event for the Salani family in Bnei Brak, attendees reportedly used green laser pointers to blind anyone taking photos who is not part of the community, according to a report by social affairs reporter Shlomi Weisberg.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A report by social-affairs journalist Shlomi Weisberg, circulated Thursday night, describes wedding guests at a Salani family celebration in Bnei Brak using green laser pointers to blind anyone attempting to photograph the event who is not part of the close-knit community. The account, attributed to Weisberg's reporting, does not specify injuries, police involvement, or whether the lasers caused medical harm. The incident appears to reflect an effort to restrict photography at ultra-Orthodox weddings to community members only. No prior reporting on this specific event is available in The Zioneer's archives.
