Police removed several individuals who attempted to disrupt the monthly Rosh Chodesh prayer by the Women of the Wall group at the Western Wall this morning, according to N12. The disruptors surrounded the worshippers, shouted, and cursed, but the prayer took place as planned.
Women of the Wall held their monthly Rosh Chodesh prayer at the Western Wall this morning, with police reportedly removing several individuals who attempted to disrupt the service, according to N12 (Channel 12 News). The disruptors surrounded the women, shouting and cursing, but the prayer proceeded.
The incident follows an earlier report from The Zioneer at 08:25 Jerusalem time, which noted that the group — sometimes referred to as 'Women of Provocation' by critics — had arrived at the site for a Reform-style minyan, sparking clashes with other worshippers. The current N12 report does not specify the nature of the prayer but confirms that police intervened to remove the protesters.
The Women of the Wall have been a focal point of tensions at the Western Wall, with their non-traditional prayer services often drawing opposition from Haredi and nationalist worshippers. Similar incidents occurred in June 2026, when the group's actions led to verbal confrontations and police intervention.
