Jerusalem Rally for Rioters Arrested Near Supreme Court Judge Ends in Attacks on Soldiers and Police

On the evening of July 30, a convoy of dozens of vehicles traveled from Beit Shemesh to Jerusalem to welcome 63 individuals recently released after being detained during riots outside the home of Supreme Court Judge Solberg. Upon arrival in Jerusalem, the convoy turned into a procession where the released individuals, dressed in Sabbath attire and wearing shtreimels, were celebrated by crowds dancing around them on Malchei Yisrael Street and later at Kikar HaShabbat.

However, the event escalated into violence when three soldiers from the Netzah Yehuda Battalion passing nearby were attacked by some participants who followed them, shouted at them, and threw objects. The soldiers managed to leave unharmed. Police officers who arrived to protect the soldiers were also assaulted, with objects thrown at them amid chants of "Nazis out."

Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, condemned the incident and criticized the government, stating, "Do not be surprised if you hear no condemnation from the October Massacre government. They are in the pocket of those who evade service and attack soldiers in Jerusalem streets, calling them 'Nazis.' On October 27, we will remove this evasion government and deal with these rioters with an iron fist."
