Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

A severe and unprecedented incident occurred in Beit Shemesh when a radical fringe group attacked the vehicle of the Rebbe of Karlin-Stolin with stones as he was leaving a wedding celebration. This attack follows a series of repeated harassments against the Rebbe by extremist elements, who had previously attacked him in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim neighborhood. Despite these ongoing incidents, the Rebbe consistently instructs his followers not to retaliate against those who harass them.

The attack has caused widespread shock and condemnation throughout the Haredi public and the Edah HaChareidis community, with strong disavowal of the perpetrators' actions and calls for a clear response against the affront to a prominent public leader's honor.

Following the incident, Member of Knesset Meir Porush spoke with Jerusalem District Commander Superintendent Abashi Peled, demanding decisive action against the attackers. Porush's office declined to comment on the report.
