Video has emerged of a woman who stripped off her clothes at the Western Wall holy site today.
In the clip posted on YouTube, the woman can be seen from behind walking calmly toward the men’s section.
Another woman runs up and tries repeatedly to cover her with a shawl, but she pushes her away, before starting to run.
She makes it into the entrance of the men’s section before she is roughly grabbed by the arms by two men who pull her up to the area where there are public bathrooms and a police station.
All the while, people can be heard yelling, “This is a modest place.”
Police later detained her and said she was taken for a psychological evaluation.
Her parents tell police that she suffered from mental health issues, Channel 2 reports.
The clip is below.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
