Protesters Target Homes of Women of the Wall Leaders in Haifa and Jerusalem

Protesters arrived at the homes of senior Women of the Wall leaders Anat Hoffman in Haifa and Yochi Rappaport in Jerusalem on August 19, 2026. The demonstrators shouted insults through megaphones and clashed with neighbors near Hoffman's residence in the Bat Galim neighborhood around 6:45 a.m. and near Rappaport's home in Jerusalem around 5:30 a.m. Women of the Wall representatives claimed the protesters obtained the women's addresses through deceptive means and expressed fear for their safety, stating, "I fear for my life." They also accused the police of failing to respond to the incidents at their homes. The events highlight ongoing tensions surrounding the Women of the Wall organization and its activities at the Western Wall.
