Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned ultra-Orthodox rioters who attacked the home of Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg on Wednesday night.

Sixty-two Haredim were detained after trying to break into the 64-year-old judge’s private residence in the community of Alon Shvut, south of Jerusalem.

The attack was also condemned by President Yitzhak Herzog and by Ashhkenazi Chief Rabbi Kalman Ber who condemned violent demonstrations “even if in the pursuit of sacred values.” 

KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Dr Benny Gesundheit, who lives next door to the Sohlberg residence.
