30 ultra-Orthodox arrested in Jerusalem anti-draft protests
Thirty ultra-Orthodox demonstrators are arrested in Jerusalem during the latest protest against the jailing of military draft dodgers.
A statement from police says the protesters were blocking Jaffa and Sarei Yisrael streets and refused to comply with police orders to vacate the busy intersection.
One protester was lightly injured and is receiving treatment by paramedics at the scene.
The police statement says officers will remain deployed in downtown Jerusalem to stop “the flagrant violation of public order… that harms the safety and security of residents.”
