Dozens of protesters breached the light rail construction site on Bar Ilan Street in Yerushalayim on Sunday, leading to clashes with large police forces and the arrest of at least one demonstrator.
The protesters, who oppose construction of the new light rail line through the Chareidi neighborhood, entered the fenced construction zone, allegedly damaged engineering infrastructure, and attempted to disrupt traffic.
Police declared the gathering an unlawful assembly and ordered demonstrators to disperse. When some refused, officers from the Jerusalem District Police, Border Police, and special units moved in to clear the site.
Video from the scene shows officers arresting one protester who had wedged himself between large exposed infrastructure pipes at the bottom of the excavation area.
Police said the suspect was arrested on suspicion of intentionally damaging infrastructure and participating in the violent disturbance.
Large security forces remained deployed along Bar Ilan Street and nearby roads to prevent further unrest.
The protests are part of an ongoing campaign by members of the Eidah HaChareidis and others who oppose the light rail project, arguing that its route through the neighborhood raises religious concerns. Previous demonstrations in the area have also resulted in clashes with police.

So heartwarming. מי כעמך ישראל.
Regarding the police, the demonstrators are calling a spade a spade.
again, do you see any of the protesters with a sefer?
ujm, calling the police in a Jewish state Nazis commits two horrific crimes: 1) it is a disgrace to the Jews who perished in the Shoah. 2) it is a disgrace to the police. IY’H they will merit a long rest in gehinnom.
@TorahTruth,
Regardless if this is the correct way or not (I personally don’t think it necessarily is), my hunch is that when they pelted the Kohein Gadol Tzidoki (if you ever learnt Sukkah) with Esrogim, you and your ilk sat there saying, smugly , מי כעמך ישראל
Dr. Zionist idolater:
Your basic assertion is false, of course, because if a police officer behaves like a Nazi then it is perfectly reasonable to call out that behavior for what it resembles, and it is no disgrace whatsoever to the memory of the Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
(If anything, the disgrace is your idol.)
Regardless, your whole premise is irrelevant, because the Chazon Ish and others noted that it is not a State, and is also obviously not Jewish.
if you are a member of a police force in a Jewish state you cant be a nazi??
you can be a murdered a rapist a drug dealer and idolator but not a nazi
he wud beat this Jew till he’s dead if he thought he’d get away with it he damn sure is a nazi
where do you get this rubbish from
