An ultra-Orthodox man has been indicted for allegedly assaulting former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett by throwing a salt shaker at him during a visit to a restaurant in Bnei Brak on Thursday, September 26th. The suspect, a 26-year-old resident of the city, reportedly hurled a glass salt shaker towards the table where Bennett was meeting with local residents. The salt shaker struck two women on Bennett's staff, and the suspect then threw another glass object that fell near the table.
