Police clash with ultra-Orthodox in Beit Shemesh trying to enter yeshiva

Police in Beit Shemesh are clashing with dozens of hardline ultra-Orthodox residents attempting to enter a yeshiva in a neighborhood under closure.

There is no word on arrests.

Several neighborhoods in the city have been closed off due to high infection rates. Yeshivas and synagogues throughout the country are out of bounds, with fears close proximity in such institutions could help spread the coronavirus.
