ASHDOD, Israel, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- A brawl between rival ultra-
Orthodox Jewish sects in Ashdod, Israel, has resulted in
four arrests, officials said.
Police said a fight broke out Saturday night between 500
rival Ashkenazi and Sephardic sect members in the city's
Zayin quarter, Ynetnews.com reported.
The Web site said the brawl was triggered when Ashkenazim
claimed that Sephardic religious school dropouts were
wandering the streets in violation of the Shabbat, thereby
insulting the haredi, or ultra-Orthodox people, living in
the neighborhood.
Ynetnews.com said four people had been arrested in the fight
and had been brought in for questioning. Neighborhood
residents told the Web site that pamphlets were handed out
in synagogue Saturday calling on Ashkenazi haredim to
protest the situation.
"They planned on making provocations ahead of time, to rile
things up and cause the police to come, so they would
ultimately attack us," Danielle Moyal, a Sephardic resident
of the neighborhood, told Ynetnews.com.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
