Police arrest 10 Haredi protesters blocking road in Bnei Brak

Police say they have arrested 10 ultra-Orthodox protesters blocking Route 4 at Coca-Cola Junction in Bnei Brak, at a demonstration against proposals to draft them to the military.

Police say some protesters called them “Nazis” and lay under police vehicles to block them.

The demonstrators belonged to the extremist Jerusalem Faction, which numbers some 60,000 members and regularly demonstrates against the enlistment of yeshiva students.

The road remains blocked as police work to clear the protesters.
