Off-duty soldiers, Border Police attacked in Jerusalem by dozens of Haredi males
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleVideo from Jerusalem shows dozens of ultra-Orthodox males accosting several off-duty soldiers walking through the capital.
The Haredi demonstrators can be seen following after the soldiers, who Hebrew media outlets identify as members of the predominately ultra-Orthodox Netzah Yehuda battalion, as they yell and throw objects at them.
שלושה חיילים חרדים המשרתים בגדוד “נצח יהודה” נקלעו לאזור שבו התקיימה קבלת הפנים ל”פורעי סולברג”, והותקפו על ידי ההמון במקום.
המפגינים השליכו לעבר החיילים בקבוקים ורדפו אחריהם, השלושה הצליחו להימלט מהמקום ללא פגע. pic.twitter.com/IThA3urExZ

There are no immediate reports of injuries or arrests.
The Ynet news site reports that the group of Haredim were attending a rally in support of those arrested for taking part in an attack on the home of Deputy Supreme Court Chief Justice Noam Sohlberg to protest the arrest of ultra-Orthodox draft dodgers.
