Haredi rioters vandalize home of Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg; dozens detained

Dozens of Haredi rioters descended on the home of Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg tonight, shattering windows and smashing flower pots outside the property to protest the arrest of ultra-Orthodox draft evaders.

Officers dispatched to the West Bank settlement of Alon Shvut, where Sohlberg and his wife reside, have detained “dozens of suspects,” police say.

The arrests were carried out after rioters attempted to flee the scene on a bus, Ynet reports. Police who arrived in the area stopped the vehicle and held the passengers there until reinforcements arrived to apprehend the suspects.

Sohlberg and his wife were both at home during the incident, Hebrew outlets report. Footage from the scene shows that the window to the bathroom was shattered, alongside flower pots placed on the house’s doorstep.

Standing outside the damaged house, the justice’s wife compares the riot to Kristallnacht, a deadly pogrom led by the Nazi regime against Germany’s Jews in 1938.

“The children of Holocaust survivors, Jews, hurting each one another so, how can this be?” Meira Sohlberg said in disbelief to reporters at the scene. “Look at this destruction, a pogrom, what is this, Kristallnacht?”
