None
Dozens of ultra-Orthodox protestors are demonstrating at the intersection of Sarei Israel and Yafo in Jerusalem over a detainment of two Haredi draft-dodgers, continuing their struggle against Haredi recruitment to the IDF.
Some of the protesters blocked the light rail route for a short time and prevented it from traveling, and the police reported that eight of the protestors were arrested for rioting.
The demonstration was later dispersed.
Meanwhile, ultra-Orthodox demonstrators are blocking roads in Beit Shemesh and in Ramat Gan, where four more were arrested.
