A woman was attacked in her car in Beit Shemesh Tuesday by ultra-Orthodox extremists - the latest in a series of incidents apparently sparked by what members of the town's Haredi community view as immodest dress.
A crowd of ultra-Orthodox men jumped on 27-year-old Natali Mashiah's car in the Haredi Ramat Beit Shemet Bet neighborhood, she said. Members of the crowd smashed her car windows and punctured her four tires before spilling bleach on the inside of her car, said the Beit Shemesh resident, adding that she believed the men were going to set her on fire. As she fled the car, she said she was hit on the head by a rock thrown from very close range.

Police arrested three suspects when they arrived on the scene, and searched the area for other suspects.
Throw the @!$%#ing key away. these @!$%#ers don't deserve to see day light for a long, long time. tougher stance is beginning to show results in Jerusalem. Beit Shemesh should be next. helping the Police suppress their fanatics (as they're starting to do in Jerusalem) should be on top the priority list of the larger Ultra-Orthodox community, in both those places.
