Troops say female soldiers were assaulted by Haredim while searching for bodies — radio

Some IDF Home Front Command soldiers report being attacked and spat on by Haredim as they assisted in searching for dead and wounded in the stampede during Lag B’Omer celebrations at Mount Meron, according to Army Radio.

“We entered the gravesite to search for injured people and suddenly a commotion began that there are female soldiers in uniforms who are touching the wounded. They started to kick and spit on us. The female soldiers were kicked, spit on and punched from every direction,” the radio station quotes a soldier saying.
