A Petah Tikvah Court ordered five Breslov hasidim to be placed under house arrest for four days, for entering Joseph's Tomb without a security arrangement last night (Saturday). Three of the five are minors.
A representative from the police warned the presiding judge that the hasidim's action endangered both themselves and others, while the defendants' lawyer argued that the laws of holy sites and the Oslo Accords permit free access to the Tomb.
