i24 News – Several Israelis have been arrested by police, accused of attempting to sabotage infrastructure on Har Meron ahead of Lag Ba’Omer celebrations. The group, heading to Har Meron on a minibus, was stopped by police near the community of Kadarim in northern Israel.
The police found four bags filled “full of wirecutters, utility knives, hammers, eggs filled with paint, and gloves that are suspected of having been meant to be used to vandalize the electrical system for the communications equipment, loudspeakers and screens that had been set up,” police said in a statement. “Beyond causing deep mental anguish to celebrants, any damage done to infrastructure on Mount Meron could pose a real danger to those who wish to visit the site,” the statement said.
Israel’s police are preparing for tens of thousands of people to make the trek to Meron tonight. The government has carried out work at the site ahead of the celebration, demolishing certain structures and widening existing passageways.
Misleading headline. They weren’t coming to sabotage the celebration, but the limitation on the celebration. May they be blessed. May the police do teshuvah.
They were trying to cause more deaths, so they should be punished.
What’s a matter, no terrorists to catch, no buglers, no killers. The foolish police spend their time interfering with Meron.
The terrorists would not catch themselves. These ZIonists terrorists’ biggest enemies are the chareidim. These reshaim think they’re smart and powerful.
I thought this was an Orthodox site – this article is complete sheker and slander. Clearly the people in the bus were trying fight the tyranny of the government who has hijacked Meron and any semblance of normalcy. They just wanted to be w/Rav Shimon on Lag B’Omer and were trying to get in.
It’s the site that advocates the death jabs and baloney virus.
These people are against Torah, seeing as the gedolim are OK with the enhanced safety at Meron, and these reshoim aren’t.
Wow! Last time I saw a display of terrorism related devices it did not look anything like this! They took pictures of weapons such as rocket launchers, firearms, automatic firearms etc. Here, they found wire cutters! and screw drivers! What a bunch of losers, this is something you put out to slander the “wicked haredim” in your country. Reminds me of the videos of a bystander who was praying by the tomb while there was a protest going on, these animals, put him in a choke hold and bashed his face against the asphalt floor repeatedly. Where is the investigation. I Despise these power wielding corrupt crooks, and I’m definitely not alone.
