Jerusalem Hotel Security Guard Aids Stone Throwers Targeting Ultra-Orthodox Protesters

The Jerusalem Police have filed charges against three city residents accused of throwing stones from a hotel roof at ultra-Orthodox protesters on June 1, 2026. The investigation began at the Moriah police station following reports and video evidence showing the suspects hurling stones at protesters gathered on a nearby road. The footage also shows the suspects targeting passing vehicles. One of the accused was seen breaking a large rock on the roof to create smaller stones for throwing.

According to the indictment, one of the suspects was a armed security guard employed at the hotel who opened the door to the roof, allowing the other two to access it. He stood near them while they threw stones but failed to intervene or report the incident, violating his professional duties. After gathering testimonies and evidence, the Jerusalem District Prosecution submitted the indictment against all three suspects to court.
