| [IsraelTimes] Amit vows court system and judges will not bow to violent intimidation; 62 suspects to face custody hearing, some said refusing to cooperate; GroPro cameras and drones seized. Court frees 18 arrested at riot outside judge’s home, keeps 44 suspects in custody [IsraelTimes] Eighteen suspects stopped during last night’s riots outside the home of High Court Justice Noam Sohlberg by ultra-Orthodox extremists opposed to the military draft have been freed to house arrest, police say. Another 44 of the 62 suspects arrested outside Sohlberg’s house in the West Bank settlement of Alon Shvut were ordered to remain in custody until the middle of next week, though five minors among them will be released tomorrow. Haredi extremists protesting the arrest of draft dodgers descended on the judge’s home last night, breaking windows, smashing flower pots and vases on the front porch and causing damage to his car. Many of the Haredi demonstrators tried to flee the scene on a bus but were stopped by police. Police say that rioters derided officers as “Nazis” upon their arrival at the scene. The incident was the latest riot by ultra-Orthodox extremists at the home of a top official, which is part of a planned campaign, according to Channel 12 news. |
