According to what was widely publicized regarding the prayer gathering in Hevron scheduled yesterday, Tuesday evening, for the release of Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit”a, thousands answered the call and set out on their way. The masses of people relied on the prior coordination with the police regarding the holding of the gathering.
However, in an unusual and shocking move, amidst cynical utilization of an IDF general’s order, the police announced that the masses of people already on their way were barred from entering the area around the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hevron, turning the buses back.
The clear goal was to prevent the prayer gathering at the Cave of the Patriarchs, but they couldn’t stop the prayer gathering itself, which took place with great enthusiasm at the Gush Etzion intersection.
