Police: Entrance to Jerusalem reopened after ultra-Orthodox protest
The police reopen the entrance to Jerusalem after it was blocked by more than 1,000 ultra-Orthodox demonstrators, who were protesting the military draft.
Officers also clear Bar Lev Street, which was blocked by protesters from the ultra-Orthodox, also known as Haredi, community.
Some of the demonstrators remain in the area, but “no longer present a disturbance.”
Police say that so far 11 people have been arrested.
