Later on, two of them approached the policemen and physically attacked them. At this point, additional undercover policemen who were dressed as ultra-Orthodox Jews jumped on the two assailants and arrested them.
The police said that this is just one part in a series of operations in which police officers disguise themselves as Haredi soldiers to elicit attacks after a series of recent violent incidents.
