Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSome 200 ultra-Orthodox members of the extremist “Jerusalem Faction” have blocked off a pair of roads in the central city of Bnei Brak, protesting the recent arrest of a Haredi draft dodger.
Demonstrators are chanting “we will die before we enlist,” and a number of them are clashing with police, who have arrived at the scene in the dozens.
There are no reports of arrests made thus far.
