The IDF says it “strongly condemns” the protests by ultra-Orthodox extremists outside the home of Military Police chief Brig. Gen. Yuval Yamin in Ashkelon.
“The IDF strongly condemns any attempt to harm members of the security forces and their family members, and will continue to support Brig. Gen. Yuval Yamin, who is carrying out his duties faithfully,” the military says.
The IDF says the Military Police “will continue to carry out its missions and operate according to the law.”
The Haredi protesters were rioting over the arrest of yeshiva students for evading mandatory military conscription.
