The haredi community in Beit Shemesh has slammed the city's municipality for demolishing a synagogue while the Torah scroll was still inside it, Kikar Hashabbat reported.

According to the residents, the municipal workers did not even bother to remove the holy books before demolishing the synagogue.

The synagogue, housed in a caravan built four years ago, serves the community of "Hanikhei Hayeshivot" in Ramah C. Early on Tuesday morning, municipal workers arrived at the site and completely demolished it.

    Sounds like the Israel I'm familiar with: Act first, ask questions later... or maybe not ask anything at all. Not the most delicate or careful or cultures.

    Questions:
    1) Was notice given?
    2) Why was it demolished?
