IDF Major Shraga Dahan, a member of the IDF Rabbinate, arrived in Beit Shemesh to make a shiva visit in the chareidi area of the city. He was surrounded by a number of chareidim and they then began spitting at him and pelting him with objects.

Major Dahan arrived in the city last Monday with his wife to make a shiva visit in the home of Rav Mordechai Noach Mendelson on Yehuda HaNasi Street in the chareidi area. When the passersby saw Dahan in uniform they began to surround him. Dahan, a member of the chareidi community, is a rav in the Tel Hashomer base.

Dahan and his wife were compelled to leave as they realized they were outnumbered and there was no other way out of the situation. B”H they were uninjured.
