Israeli police said Wednesday that they arrested three ultra-Orthodox Jewish protesters following clashes in West Jerusalem during demonstrations against the detention of Haredi Jews opposed to military conscription, Anadolu reports.
The protests were organized in response to the detention of several Haredi men arrested last week after attempting to storm the home of Israeli Supreme Court Deputy President Noam Solberg in protest against the enlistment of yeshiva students — individuals who attend a traditional Jewish educational institution dedicated to the rigorous study of religious texts.
