Dozens of right-wing demonstrators protesting the freshly-signed hostage release and ceasefire deal block traffic under Chords Bridge, at the entrance to Jerusalem.
Police are trying to haul the protesters, mostly young Orthodox men, off the pavement and onto the sidewalk with little success.
Many of the demonstrators return to the center of the road while chanting: “Conquest, expulsion, settlement,” referring to the Gaza Strip.
Police have not yet made any arrests.
