An ultra-Orthodox reservist soldier is mobbed and receives hateful chants by a group of Haredi extremists in the central city of Bnei Brak.

The group of youths surround the reservist’s car and tip over trash bins to block it, while yelling at him and at locals who come to defend the soldier, footage of the incident shows.

The Israel Hayom daily reports that the soldier is a resident of Netanya who serves as a medic identifying the bodies of those fallen in battle.

The Bnei Brak municipality condemns the incident, adding that police arrived on the scene and arrested those suspected of involvement, who were not apparently residents of the city.

“Bnei Brak cherishes and strengthens the soldiers who give their lives for the nation. This inappropriate behavior does not and will not have a foothold in our city!”
