Clashes broke out Tuesday afternoon in Jerusalem at a light rail construction site between protesters opposing the project and private security guards, according to Channel 12 reporter Eli Hirshman. The incident follows a series of demonstrations by ultra-Orthodox activists against the light rail line, which they oppose on religious grounds. As The Zioneer previously reported, radical protesters broke into the work compound earlier on Tuesday. No injuries or arrests have been reported in the latest incident.
