2 arrested after protesters scuffle with police outside PM’s Jerusalem residence

Police arrest two demonstrators in Jerusalem tonight following a rally for the hostages outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence.

After most demonstrators dispersed, a few dozen protesters marched to the premier’s private residence further down the road, clashing with police after breaking through crowd control barriers. The two arrested demonstrators were taken by police to the Moriah station.

Earlier in the evening, cops were filmed forcefully shoving marchers as they neared Paris Square, near Netanyahu’s official residence.

A police spokesman says that “some demonstrators violated public order by blocking the intersection, igniting flares, and creating a safety risk for participants and other road users.”
