Police in Jerusalem say they arrested three people last night for allegedly attacking police at a protest against the hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas that was held near the entrance to the city.
According to a police spokesman, protesters threw stones at officers on duty, lightly injuring a Border Police officer. Cops also confiscated a bottle containing flammable material from one of the participants.
Last night’s protest marked the fourth time right-wing demonstrators have blocked traffic under Chords Bridge since the ceasefire was announced Wednesday.
“Seeing that the rioters disregarded police orders, the officers took immediate action to contain and disperse those disrupting the peace to restore order,” says the spokesperson.
