Summary
Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox protesters again took to the streets in Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh—burning bins, throwing stones and blocking the light rail—to protest the arrest of draft evaders and of rioters near a Supreme Court justice's home. Police dispersed them by force, saying the demonstrators 'cross every red line day after day'.
