Haredi protesters block road outside Jerusalem draft office

Ultra-Orthodox protesters block the road outside an IDF recruitment center in Jerusalem, in the latest demonstration against the draft of men from the community.

The police remove the protesters and clear the road, Channel 10 reports.

Last week, protesters attacked an IDF soldier during a demonstration in Bnei Brak, drawing a furious response from across the political spectrum.
