Crosses the crowd with a camera, turns around - and clashes with protesters | Watch

Channel 14 reveals new footage of the incident that was presented as an attack on a reserve soldier by Haredim. The video shows Idan Ben David crossing the crowd while filming, and only after a sudden movement of his does the commotion begin. The channel highlights a gap between the harsh description and the documented footage, and notes that other residents with dogs were not harmed.

Channel 14 has published new footage that presents a different version of the incident that was shown nine days ago as an attack on a reserve soldier by dozens of Haredim. According to the previous report, Idan Ben David was attacked solely because he passed with a dog near a protest outside the home of the Attorney General. In the new footage, obtained by the channel, Ben David is seen crossing the crowd while filming on his phone, and after he finishes passing, he turns around and makes a movement that appears to be a kick or a push toward one of the protesters, and only then does the commotion begin. The channel emphasizes that the entire incident lasted 20 seconds, and that other residents who passed with dogs were not harmed. It was also reported that attempts to obtain Ben David's response were not answered, and that he threatened to sue the channel. The article includes a mention of the prayer of the Gur Hasidic dynasty at the location, and a link to a previous article on the subject.
