Violent clashes broke out early Thursday afternoon near Bar Ilan Street in Jerusalem between hundreds of extremists and police forces.
The police used crowd-dispersal measures, including stun grenades and tear gas, to restore order amid reports that 10 police officers were lightly injured.
According to reports, a municipal enforcement inspector accompanied by police led to rumors that the police were trying to arrest three “draft dodgers. A “black alert” warning was issued that the police are trying to arrest bochurim and dozens of people joined the protests, including some bochurim from a nearby Chassidish yeshivah.
The riots broke out on Rechov Chana and continued afterward close to Eli HaKohen Street on the corner of Yirmiyahu Street, known as “Tzomet Aperion” (Aperion Square).
Large numbers of police and Border Police forces, including riot control units, were called to the scene and are continuing to operate to restore order.

It seems obvious there is something wrong with a government whose policies cause such unrest. There is a lack of confidence in and a lack of respect for this government’s behavior toward a segment of the population.
hayoi lo sih’yeh

who let the Nazis into israel
Modern day Maccabees and yevanim
American bachur with the cigarette now gets to tell everyone about him getting hit by police.
Stop being juvenile. It’s not insane. It’s wild.
So this is the face of Bnei Torah today???? What ddo their Roshe Yeshiva say???
Hey YWN, how about reporting ACCURATELY and not inciting? The police came to give a parking ticket and these animals started to riot.
The Chasmonoim chased out the Greeks, only with the help of the Romans. The Romans then took over the leadership of Eretz Yisroel, and it was peaceful until the Chuban Bayis Sheni. That’s what we need now in Israel, maybe China should take over.
It’s amazing, the state changes the rules overnight, makes no accommodations whatsoever, criminalizes and sanctions all of them within a few months, and then people get upset when the people react and protest for their religious rights. All under the Attorney General’s guidance and nothing to do with the prime minister. How do you not see a problem in that? Any other law that gets changed there’s a few years grace period, compromise on how many Year One and your two, some safeguards in place, new units that will open up under the guide of rabbinical supervision that will be tested and reviewed before implementation, Etc. None of that happened here so enjoy your protests, that’s the only thing that might help when the country can’t handle it anymore
Arrest them all.
ac23, how about posting ACCURATELY and not inciting? The police came to give a parking ticket and, according to the Jerusalem Post, several young men were reportedly identified as “draft dodgers.” The riot began to protect those young men.
People like you who are filled with hate always ignore the facts.
and they want us to join ur idf so they can learn this violence…
lbj, your use of Nazis to describe Jews proves you have no respect for the kedoshim killed by the Nazis and earns you a long-term lease on a makom in Gehinnom
these guys need to let off some steam.they should all be taken to gaza to fight the Arabs.
Police don’t give parking tickets in Israel.
This duty belongs to municipality workers and parking enforcement officers (not police – and these workers have no authority other than to print parking tickets)
So something is off…
It’s impossible to force twenty percent off the population into an army, if it doesn’t want to go, unless you can get them to some magic belief, you can force them into a prison camp, but you can’t force them into an army, just not going to happen, but I’m surprised that they didn’t try this when they had a chance

No, they need to be left alone to be Jews and not harassed and forcibly converted from Judaism to Zionism by the wicked Zionists.
DrYiddZionist:
Chazal tell us that one who causes a Jew to sin is worse, and that’s exactly the point of Zionism, not “only” what they do.
a real yeshiva student and yirie shamayim would never make a chilul hashem like this better to sit in jail
As frum Jews, we are not supposed to beat up the police or turn their car over!! Shameful! Either these Hasidim should be in Yeshiva learning or channel their great energy into serving in the IDF. Nor should Hasidim belittle soldiers who are dedicating their lives to defending Jews in the Holy Land!
