Police pounced on expelled Yesha residents in Jerusalem’s Kiryat Moshe neighborhood Wednesday afternoon, throwing some of them out of windows, an eyewitness said. Protesters fought police, and three of them were injured in the fracas. Six people were arrested.
Authorities have not said if there is a link between the police action and the infiltration and attack on an army base in Samaria Monday night, violence against IDF soldiers and a small fire that arsonists started in an unused Muslim mosque in Jerusalem before dawn Wednesday.
Thirteen residents of Judea and Samaria had been ordered out of the area and were living in an apartment house in Kiryat Moshe, a mostly national religious community with many French immigrants and home to Machon Meir, the Mercaz HaRav Yeshiva and many other religious institutions.
During the police ambush, students from the yeshiva protested the ambush and arrests, and fought with police officers. A window of a police vehicle was smashed, and tires were punctured.
The fracas occurred just as Israeli politicians and media are staging a massive campaign against the national religious community for not preventing “price tag” activists from using violence to protest government demolitions of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. Read the rest on: Arutz7
