A violent incident occurred in Bnei Brak on Friday night (Parashat Bereshit) when three individuals described as "street youths" attacked three rabbis on Admor MiGur Street. The attackers reportedly accosted the rabbis and assaulted them. During the altercation, one of the youths allegedly picked up a paving stone and struck one of the rabbis in the head, causing him to sustain moderate injuries. Security camera footage of the assault was obtained by "Bخدרי חרדים" (Bchadrei Chareidim), illustrating the severity of the event. The video shows the three youths approaching the rabbis and violently attacking them without any apparent provocation. The footage captures one of the youths picking up a paving stone and hitting a rabbi, approximately 25 years old, in the head. Rescue teams provided initial medical treatment to the injured rabbi, including stopping bleeding and bandaging, before he was transported to Sheba Hospital in moderate condition for further care. Residents have expressed concern over escalating violence in the city, noting that while areas like HaShomer Street have long been known for crime, the problem appears to be spreading into residential neighborhoods. They feel the issue is not being adequately addressed by authorities, leading to a widening scope of violence. The attack has reignited questions about the effectiveness of municipal responses to violence, with some residents feeling that significant action is only taken after severe incidents occur.
