Thousands of Jews in the Middle East and Israel ignored the new coronavirus infection and forced pilgrimages to the Holy Land, resulting in 320 arrests after clashes with police. Concerns have been raised since the restrictions on going out have just been relaxed in Israel.
Every year, about 40,000 Jewish Jews, called super-Orthodox who strictly adhere to Jewish teachings, visit the Mount Melon in northern Israel for pilgrimage.
This time, the Israeli government limited the number of pilgrimages to 150 people as a countermeasure against the infection of the new coronavirus, but on the night of the 12th, thousands of people broke into the sacred place and violently collided with the police riot police that they applied.
320 super-Orthodox people were arrested on the suspicion that police officers were injured in the collision, but the next day many people paid fines and were released.
Thousands of ultra-Orthodox schools held a rally in Jerusalem on the 11th, violating corona countermeasures, and police have forcibly eliminated it.
In Israel, the outbreak spread mainly in super-Orthodox communities, but after that, it succeeded in suppressing it, and this month, it has just made major relief such as going out restrictions.
For this reason, local media and others are worried that super-Orthodox behavior may lead to the spread of infection again.
