Israeli police said Thursday that dozens of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men had been detained after they stormed the home of a Supreme Court judge in protest at the arrest of draft-dodgers from their community.

The attack targeted Noam Sohlberg, deputy president of the Supreme Court, and took place late on Wednesday in the settlement of Alon Shvut in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Police commissioner Lieutenant General Daniel Levi “strongly condemns the acts of violence” at the home of Sohlberg, police said in a statement on Thursday.

“The right to protest must not turn into acts of violence, causing damage, or harming public officials.”
