Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked announced Wednesday that she had directed the ministry not to reach plea bargains with attackers of haredi soldiers and to ensure that they are imprisoned.

Shaked added that "action will be taken against written incitement against haredi soldiers which is disseminated in haredi locales around the country. We are considering making surprise raids on printing presses which are printing materials against haredi soldiers."

Two weeks ago tens of people demonstrated in Jerusalem protesting the attacks against haredi soldiers in haredi neighborhoods.

The protesters, wearing IDF uniforms, carried placards stating "soldiers and haredim refuse to be enemies," "In Jerusalem we don't abandon soldiers", "I am my brother's keeper."
