Three Jerusalem Residents Indicted for Stone-Throwing at Ultra-Orthodox Protesters from Hotel Roof

An indictment was filed against three Jerusalem residents accused of throwing stones from a hotel roof at ultra-Orthodox protesters and passing vehicles. The incident occurred near the Prima Park Hotel, where the suspects were seen on video hurling stones and breaking rocks into smaller pieces to use as projectiles. The police investigation began about a month ago following reports and footage of the attack.

One of the accused, employed as an armed security guard at the hotel, reportedly opened the door to the roof and allowed the other two suspects to climb up. He then stood nearby while they threw stones but failed to intervene or report the incident, violating his professional duties. The suspects were arrested after police collected evidence and testimonies from the scene.

The case highlights the security guard’s complicity in facilitating the attack on the ultra-Orthodox demonstrators, who were protesting on the adjacent road. The police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the event and the motivations behind the stone-throwing.
