5 arrested at right-wing protest in Jerusalem

Police arrest five right-wing protesters taking part in an illegal demonstration in downtown Jerusalem.

According to police spokeswoman Luba Samri, the five are arrested for refusing to comply with police officers dispersing the protest at IDF Sqare.

Two protesters attempted to block the light rail tracks in the major intersection adjacent to the Old City, Samri says.

The arrested protesters are taken to the downtown Jerusalem police station for questioning. Samri says two of the five are minors.
