YNET 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.
