A court in Jerusalem extended by two days, Sunday, the remand of a member of the Breslaver hasidic community, about 30 years of age, who was arrested, Thursday evening, on suspicion of shooting at the apartment door in the hareidi-religious Meah She'arim neighborhood of the capital.
According to various reports, the shooting stemmed from a conflict about issues of family modesty between two factions in the Shuvu Banim wing of Breslov. It is suspected that the newly-observant suspect, who had been beaten by one of the factions, went to the home of the father of the one who had delivered the blows and knocked on the door with the aim to meet the attacker's family. When there was no answer, he fired a volley of shots at the door and fled just before police arrived.
