Protesters block road over planned synagogue demolition

Police arrest six people suspected of blocking a road in the settlement of Givat Ze’ev north of Jerusalem.

According to police, some 10 people blocked Route 436 and lit tires, apparently in protest over plans to demolish a nearby synagogue built on private Palestinian land.

Police say the tires were cleared off the road, which was then reopened to traffic.
