A reserve officer from the IDF's charedi Hasmonean Brigade was assaulted by a chareidi civilian in Jerusalem and evacuated to Shaare Zedek Hospital; IDF condemns attack and calls for prosecution
A reserve officer serving in the IDF's Hasmonean Brigade was assaulted Monday by a charedi civilian in Jerusalem and required medical treatment at Shaare Zedek Hospital.
Kikar HaShabbat reports that the officer serves in the Hasmonean Brigade, the IDF unit designated for charedi soldiers.
The IDF issued a sharp condemnation of the attack and called on law enforcement to act against those involved. "The IDF strongly condemns violence against soldiers and expects law enforcement to bring all those involved to justice," an IDF spokesperson said.
This is not the first incident of its kind. Charedi soldiers have previously faced hostile reactions from segments of the charedi public opposed to military service, though cases of physical assault remain relatively rare.
