Shas chairman Min Aryeh Deri responded to the attack of radical haredim on Bnei Brak police and called for an immediate halt to the violence.
''The brutal attacks against police officers enforcing the lockdown in Bnei Brak tonight were outrageous. The rioters should be arrested and dealt with to the full extent of the law. We must follow the guidelines to save lives. This is a life and death struggle," he stated.
