Attendees at this evening’s ultra-Orthodox protest against conscription attack journalists, pushing them back as they attempt to film the rabbis.
“If you go back [to where you were], we’ll take you apart,” they scream at a photographer after shoving him away, demanding the press respect the rabbis.
Sitting behind a sign stating “All of Haredi Judaism stands behind you,” the rabbis recite psalms for the yeshiva students incarcerated in the Beit Lid military prison for draft evasion.
