Israeli Leaders Condemn Attack on Supreme Court Justice’s Home
Police arrested more than 50 people after the mob smashed windows and damaged the entrance in a protest over Haredi enlistment.
- On Wednesday, dozens of Haredi protesters damaged Supreme Court Deputy President Noam Sohlberg's home in Alon Shvut, smashing windows and flower pots before police arrested more than 50 individuals after stopping their bus.
- Opposition to the High Court's position on Haredi enlistment sparked the riot, rooted in Sohlberg's 2025 ruling that ordered the state to enforce criminal and economic measures against draft evasion.
- This riot follows a recent pattern of intimidation: overnight Sunday into Monday, Haredi protesters broke into the Beit Shemesh police station and threw stones; in April, Jerusalem Faction members stormed the Military Police chief's home.
- President Isaac Herzog called the vandalism a "dangerous crossing of a red line," while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a condemnation and urged law enforcement to deal aggressively with the rioters.
- Meira Sohlberg described the scene as a "pogrom," lamenting the destruction at her vandalized home as tensions persist between the Haredi community and the government's draft exemption legislation efforts.
