The Times of Israel describes the scene of an attack Monday night on a haredi soldier in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Mea Shearim by a haredi mob that reportedly numbered between 100 and 150 men and teens:
…The rabbit’s warren of alleys surrounding the scene of the crime on Nahum Ish Gamzo [sic] street feature walls plastered with pashkvils — printed public notices — denouncing participation in national elections and graffiti berating ultra-Orthodox Jews who enlist in the IDF.
Spray-painted Palestinian flags and statements like “hardakim [a slur for "lightweight" ultra-Orthodox] out” and “hardak, if you go this far, you erred” present themselves on the masonry. The Hebrew and Arabic on the street sign for Ish Gamzo Street were blackened out, leaving an only partly legible English name.
Most of the residents of the immediate neighborhood were unwilling to discuss Tuesday’s incident. Some flat-out denied anything had happened.…According to Israel Hayom, none of the big four Israeli haredi daily newspapers reported on the attack and no members of Knesset from the Ashkenazi haredi Untied Torah Judaism Party would speak about the attack or acknowledge it publicly.
