Ultra-Orthodox protesters block entrance to Jerusalem
Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox protesters shut down the entrance to Jerusalem at the Chords Bridge, police say.
The demonstrators migrated to the main entrance of the city after police dispersed them from the road outside the Knesset.
In addition, police say a protest near the tram line near the Bar Lev intersection in the capital is continuing.
Six demonstrators have been arrested so far, the police say.
