Haredi rioters breached the IDF’s Beit Lid base, which houses the Neve Tzedek prison and military courts, this evening, according to the IDF.
The military says an illegal protest began outside the base and the “protesters acted violently and entered the military area.”
Military Police forces removed all the rioters from the base, the IDF says, adding that “the incident has concluded.”
The rioters had arrived at the base to protest the arrest of a Haredi draft evader.
