Israeli police said they are working to disperse ultra-Orthodox rioters after declaring a Haredi protest illegal. Officers cited dozens of rioters blocking traffic routes and public buses, disrupting daily life and endangering road users, according to police.
The Jerusalem Post reports that police officially declared the protest illegal after Haredi demonstrators blocked roads and buses with their bodies, prompting a police crackdown. Police described dozens of rioters disrupting traffic and endangering road users. This marks the latest escalation in a wave of Haredi protests over the military draft bill, which The Zioneer has covered extensively over the past several days. A previous bulletin reported police forcibly clearing a blocked road on June 8; later protests spread to multiple cities after draft dodger arrests on June 11. The protest's legal status has shifted as authorities have attempted to restore order.
