Haredi extremists attacked Beit Shemesh Mayor Shmuel Greenberg and his family, overturning his car and injuring his son. The mayor and his family were rescued from the scene, and the mayor's son required medical treatment. The attack is believed to be linked to the municipality's recent demolition of a synagogue. This is not the first mob attack against a mayor in Beit Shemesh, as extremists have long sought to impose their way of life on residents.
