A group of Haredi extremists opposed to any conscription of ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students demonstrates inside the apartment building where Shas MK Yinon Azoulay lives in the southern city of Ashdod.
Video shows the group yelling and banging on Azoulay’s door as a neighbor confronts them, telling them to go downstairs. They ignore her and then break into chants of “traitor” as she tells them she called the police.
The incident came as lawmakers from Shas and the fellow ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party have increasingly been targeted for cooperating in the advancement of a bill to regulate conscription for yeshiva students.
