Two ultra-Orthodox men were arrested Monday for allegedly heading a “modesty squad” that terrorized the female residents of Beitar Illit over what they deemed their “immodest behavior.”

The two, both in their 30s, are believed to be responsible for what the police called “a reign or terror.”

The two are suspected of a line of violent acts including threats, beatings, kidnappings and more, against what they perceive are indecent women, and at times – men.

The suspects allegedly followed the conduct of the city’s residents and decided to “educate” those who did not live up to their standards of modesty.

According to the case file, the two would watch people’s conduct in the streets, the way they dressed, the manner in which they sat on public transportation, their use of language and more.

In some cases, they attacked adolescents and in one instance, they allegedly kidnapped a 17-year-old, placing him in a closed room and beating him for daring to “act wantonly.”

During the police’s covert investigation, officers discovered that the two were known to the public and that people preferred turning a blind eye to their actions.

The men will be arraigned before the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday. The police are expected to ask they be remanded. A police source told Ynet that more arrests are expected in the case.

Meanwhile, in the framework of the Israel Police’s National Fraud Unit, detectives raided the Beitar Illit municipality and confiscated a few computers. It is not yet clear whether the raid is somehow connected to the suspects.

    When I think of the Jews, attractiveness does NOT come to mind.

    The photo is hilarious!!! And THIS is what is running rampant in ‘The West’. An assortment of the most nutty, deranged examples of ‘humanity’ if one can even call them that. Constantly meddling and interfering even in the lives of ‘their own’ as it were. Wow, what a glaring example of what not to be or emulate, anywhere, anytime or at any place in the known Universe. These fine examples loony nutters would be great slapstick if they were not so serious in their zealous ‘guardianship’ of what they seemingly deem as ‘Sacred’. Again I take a glace at the above photo in bemusement as well as amusement! What a spectacle.Man alive, get that fool and his ‘Colleagues’ into an insane Asylum and fast! They’re the ones who need reeducation, that is IF at all possible!

    Tried to leave a comment after the article of the link posted by David, but refuse to sign up with twitter, yahoo, or google, so, will post it here :

    “”The picture in question does not coincide with IDF’s values or code of ethics,” the spokesman added in an e-mailed statement.” : I think many people are, by now, aware, that the IOF have no values, or code of “ethics”..

    @ 1bigcree …I could not have said it any better—- I laughed at the picture as well, because when the Goyim /Gentile finally AWAKE from their LIFELONG slumbers…… This IS EXACTLY what it would look like in the URBAN centers of America, and other parts of the U.S. !

    — the Zionist, Secular, non-CHRIST fearing JEW running for their “non-chosen” lives…

    One can only dream and wonder….
