A soldier is attacked while driving his car through the Mea Shearim ultra-Orthodox neighborhood in Jerusalem, police say.

After spotting the soldier, dozens of ultra-Orthodox “radicals” throw objects at the soldier’s car, according to police. Officers called to the scene escort the soldier from the area. He is unhurt.

Police are searching for those involved in the incident.

“The Israel Police will not allow any incident in which there is a sign of harm to those in uniform and will act firmly and with all means to locate those with a hand in these acts,” police say.
