A site in Haderi Haredim, one of the leading ultra-Orthodox news sites, censored the photos of the two women who were murdered in the heinous attack in Jerusalem.
Both in the photo on the site itself and in the photo they uploaded to social networks.
The website displayed the pictures of the murdered, but omitted the pictures of the murdered women and put in their place a picture of soul candles.
"Country do not cover their blood. The offspring of the son is alive and the dear boy: the victims of the attack in Neve Ya'akov", they directed the readers on Twitter to the article on the website.

It should be noted that this is not the first time that images of women are censored on the website in ultra-Orthodox rooms, despite a heavy protest.
The site prides itself on not showing pictures of women, and ignores the criticism, this is in contrast to other ultra-Orthodox news sites that do show pictures of women.
The infuriating image caused a lot of outrage online.
"Disrespect for the murdered women. Shame on you," wrote a surfer named Shir and a surfer named Anat added: "You even hide victims who were murdered in the attack?"
A surfer by the name of Ofer Zem: "Two women among the murdered and you, filthy scoundrels like you, hide their pictures? Are you afraid that the sight of a murdered woman's face might arouse evil instincts in some innocent yeshiva guy? You also hide women at your waist and then you are surprised that an entire public despises to you and curses you?"

"How dare you not respect the death of the women who were also murdered in the attack? Show me the Halacha that allows you to do such a thing! You Jews, where is your honor?!" wrote a colleague.
"Atrocity. The atrocity of the murder, and no less atrocity that you erase the holy women who were murdered," Aliza wrote.
Dozens of responses were recorded for the tweet.
"They dishonor the memory of the murdered women. Israel's editors are on steroids," wrote one of the surfers, and another added: "Aren't women important enough even in their murder? You are a dark bunch of cavemen. Disgusting people. Ugh."
