Sadly, my working theory is one of the Hasidic anti-Zionist cults in the old city.
They’re a disagreeable lot: hate all other Jewish people, strongly anti-Zionist, hate the IDF, and hate what they perceive to be conversion attempts.
As a Modern Orthodox Israeli guy from a Charedi family who essentially was a career IDF pilot, these guys REALLY hate me.
That’s reasonable, but video does not show a guy in Hasidic garb, and there is an Arab suspect who was in a dispute with the renovators.
