The gang regularly boarded a Saturday night midnight bus that runs from the largest shopping mall in Petah Tikva to Elad. If the driver was a minority – an Ethiopian Jew or an Arab-Israeli – the teens would terrorize them, vandalize the bus and the drivers’ property, and refuse to pay for the ride. If the driver was not a minority, the teens behaved.

16 teenage boys from the haredi town of Elad were detained by police today on suspicion of racist terror against minority bus drivers.
The gang regularly boarded a Saturday night midnight bus that runs from the largest shopping mall in Petah Tikva to Elad. If the driver was a minority – an Ethiopian Jew or an Arab-Israeli – the teens would terrorize them, vandalize the bus and the drivers’ property, and refuse to pay for the ride, Behadrei Haredim reported. If the driver was not a minority, the teens behaved.
Last night, the teens boarded the bus as usual and began harassing a minority driver. But this time, sitting with the other passengers on the bus were undercover policemen who arrested the 16 boys, aged 15- to 17-years-old.
A Knesset subcommittee was told a few weeks ago that minority bus drivers were facing increased harassment and were being both verbally and physically attacked in the haredi City of Bnei Brak and in Elad.
Police say they intend to run further sting operations to arrest the perpetrators.
