State prosecutors indict four men over violent protest near Justice Solberg’s home

State prosecutors filed indictments on Sunday in Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court against Nahman Platnik, 20, Abraham Fried, 20, Gershon Hanun, 21, and Shimon Atp, 41, all residents of Beit Shemesh, over their alleged roles in a violent disturbance near the home of Supreme Court Deputy President Justice Noam Solberg in Alon Shvut. The case was submitted by Attorney Ariel Iluz of the Jerusalem District Prosecutor’s Office.

According to the indictment, the crowd that gathered at the site escalated into violence around Solberg’s home. Windows were broken, a vehicle and other property were damaged, and stones were thrown at the house. The road leading to the home was blocked for various periods during the unrest.

The filing also says some participants entered the yard and adjoining parking area, and the event included posters and flags being thrown. One of Solberg’s neighbors was assaulted, and a police vehicle that arrived at the scene had to move away after participants ran toward it while shouting. The indictment states that the four defendants took part in the riot, and that two of them entered the house parking area during the incident.
