Dragged to an alley, 'interrogated' and beaten: Galatians reporter Shahar Glick attacked in Kiryat Belz

October 8, 2020   

Shahar Glick, Galei Tzahal's reporter for Haredi affairs, was attacked last night (Wednesday) by a group of young people in Kiryat Belza, Jerusalem, while covering the Beit Hashoeva celebration and gatherings in the area. According to Galei Tzahal, several of the participants recognized the reporter, attacked him, beat him, and caused injuries to his head, neck, and legs. During the attack, his cell phone was violently taken from him, which was only returned to him later. "The reporter was dragged, with threats, to a side alley, where he was 'interrogated' for long minutes by one of the attackers," Galei Tzahal said. A complaint about the attack was filed with the Jerusalem Police.
