3 Haredi protesters arrested for throwing rocks at police
Three Haredi men are arrested by police in Jerusalem’s Kikar Hashabbat square for throwing rocks at officers.
They are suspected of disorderly conduct, assaulting police officers and endangering lives in a traffic lane.
Police also closed Mea Shearim Street, which runs into the square.
The protest comes after the IDF forcibly drafted an ultra-Orthodox woman from Elad who had failed to submit her exemption paperwork.
The woman got her exemption Monday after finally submitting the necessary documents, but the resolution of her case did not deter dozens of demonstrators from continuing their protest into the afternoon.
