A disgrace to the Rashbi's score: In the two videos shown here in Rooms 10 for the first time, a horrifying picture emerges of violence between police officers and a group of Haredim in the courtyard of the Zion Rashbi.
The footage begins when police officers - male and female - aggressively remove women who have stood to pray on the sides of the Rashbi Zion courtyard, without appearing to obstruct passage.
With the help of the men nearby, who initially continue to dance to the joy of the Rashbi's celebration, they notice what is happening, and a particularly violent fight develops between the police and the Haredim.
While the police forcefully block the passage of the men into the women's wing, some of them violently evict a number of Haredim. Those staying with the men's wing do not stand by and begin throwing all sorts of objects at the police and women passing by in the yard: bottles, diapers, sticks - and even a giant trash can, while shouting: "Murderers, Nazis.".
It should be noted that in all police reports to the media, as well as in the summary of the operation, the police ignored the violent incident.
Police officials told the Haredim 10, because it was a woman who fainted among the women - and the police officers felt and supported her in an attempt to help her. Some of the people were probably sure that they were arresting her or something similar, and began to riot in a shameful manner, with objects and even a trash can being thrown at the police officers and the fainted woman. "We strongly condemn the outbreak of violence, the shouting of insults, and the attempt to harm the police officers, including blinding them with a laser flashlight.".
Watch the evacuation of the women:
