Overview
- Roughly 100 extremist protesters tried to force their way into a parents' conference for soldiers of the new Hasmonean (Hashmonaim) Brigade in Bnei Brak.
- Israel Police were dispatched, dispersed the crowd, ended the event, and escorted brigade commander Col. Avinoam Emunah from the venue for safety.
- The IDF condemned attacks on soldiers and said medical examinations were conducted on several servicemembers, while reports differed on injuries and one hospitalization.
- Hotlines linked to hardline factions issued 'emergency' calls that rapidly drew demonstrators, with multiple reports tying participants to the Jerusalem Faction.
- Political and communal figures responded, with Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor Liberman urging strict enforcement and Rabbi David Leibel denouncing the attackers as thugs.
