Man attacked by haredi protesters outside Jerusalem police station after Sohlberg rioters arrested

A man suffered a head wound after being attacked by ultra-Orthodox protesters outside a Jerusalem police station on Friday. The victim was reportedly uninvolved in the demonstration, which was protesting the arrest of individuals who had previously rioted at the home of Supreme Court Deputy President Noam Sohlberg.

According to reports, dozens of protesters gathered at the Lev HaBira Police Station. The earlier riots at Sohlberg's home involved attempts to force open doors, resulting in significant property damage, including smashed windows and a damaged car. Over 60 rioters were arrested following that incident.

Further unrest was reported in Beit Shemesh, where ultra-Orthodox rioters allegedly threw stones and objects at police officers. In a separate incident earlier in the week, eight rioters were arrested for breaking into a Beit Shemesh police station after the arrest of a draft dodger. Police dispersed that riot using batons and stun grenades.
