Dozens said hurt as ultra-Orthodox protesters clash with police

Ultra-Orthodox anti-draft protesters clash with police in Bnei Brak, reportedly leaving dozens injured.

The injuries — reported by Hadashot television news — are not confirmed by police, who say in a statement that three demonstrators have been arrested.

The demonstrators are blocking roads in the central Israel city in protest of a court decision sentencing 12 draft dodgers to jail sentences ranging from 40 to 90 days.
