Dozens of demonstrators affiliated with an anti-draft faction gathered Monday evening in central Yerushalayim, staging a protest that quickly escalated into confrontation with security forces.
The protestors blocked the intersection of Sarei Yisrael and Yafo Streets in the heart of the city.
In response, police units were dispatched to the scene, including mounted officers and a water cannon vehicle, in an effort to disperse the crowd.
The demonstrators were forcibly removed by police as tensions flared between the protestors and law enforcement. Eyewitnesses reported shouting, resistance, and scuffles as protestors refused to vacate the area voluntarily.
The protest is part of a series of actions led by a group known for its hardline stance on the army issue.
Photos from the scene show a heavy police presence, water being sprayed from the canon, and protestors being dragged away or restrained by officers. The use of mounted police created dramatic moments as the crowd tried to resist while horses advanced.
Several arrests were made.

Yes, the first Chillul Hshem of the Summer Zman. Hatzlacha on your chelek in Gan Eden! Let me know when it gets too hot.
I’m hoping you are talking about the draft law (that it’s a chilul hashem)
Let’s hear about your chelek in Gan Eden for not joining the protest against secularizing religious Jews. What a Kiddush Hashem that was!
What a warped mind you have. You guys deserve rubber bullets and batons. You are the same category as Neturei karta dogs
Where is your Dan lcaf zchus?
These guys should ask a Shaila if this type of hafgana transgress לא תלכו בחקת הגוים It looks like the peaceful protests of 2020 by the Black Lives Matter thugs.
If you’d had ahavas yisroel and ahavas Hashem, you’d have joined them in this most important protest of saving yiddishkeit.
Just for the record that’s not a “water” cannon. That stuff the tziyonim are spraying is probably one of the worst smelling things you’ll ever smell
This stinky water is only sprayed on chareidim, never on chiloni protesters. These are the tziyonim the govt wants chareidim to join. This is what chareidim would look like after they leave the army.
I wonder why none of the many other protesters we’ve had to endure don’t get the same treatment? What happened to all the calls for equality???? Or are some groups more “equal” then others?!!! The hypocrisy is glaring on the part of law enforcement!
Did the Reshaim get the water from the blue rain coming down in Texas?
This is Torah ? Can we have the names of their “rabbonim”?
If protests are the way to stop the drafting to the army, ALL GEDOLEI YISROEL authorize it.
They are trying to fight going to the army because it is not tzniusdik enough and then they no problem being photographed touching female soldiers ? This is inconsistent.
The IDF and police officially call for a male and female working as a team. Police cars always include a male and female, even if one of them is chassidic, H’Y!
where are the rabanim to speak out against this massive chillul hashem
i thought its only in america that the many are scared of the radical few
Where is the Chillul Hashem fighting against a group whose stated purpose is to destroy their Yiddishkeit???
These boys seem to have a lot of free time on their hands. I can’t imagine what a mother of a soldier, who is risking his life in some dangerous location, thinks when she sees this. If there are any American boys involved they should be deported immediately.
We don’t care what the mother of a soldier thinks when resha’im want to destroy Yeshivos.
Well there goes the argument that they aren’t cut out for fighting!
Did everyone see the picture of the erliche heilige ben tayreh holding the lady’s hand ? HKBH must be soooo proud of his mesiras nefesh mamesh
