Police disperse hundreds of zealots from the ‘Haredi community’, who riot at the sites of the light rail works on the Bar Ilan axis in Jerusalem | Hundreds pledged: “We will not sign an expulsion from the railway sites, even if we remain in detention for a long time”

Hundreds of members of the Haredi community are demonstrating this evening (Wednesday) on Bar Ilan Street in Jerusalem, in protest of the continuation of work on the light rail line. Some of the protesters went down to the pits at the site and managed to disrupt the works at the site. Clashes broke out in the area with police forces, which use means to disperse demonstrations.

Meanwhile, about 450 zealots from the “Haredi community” have signed an undertaking in the last day not to sign a removal from the light rail sites on the condition that they be released, if they are arrested by the police during the demonstrations. Long time in custody.

In recent days, the Haredi community claims, the police have begun a policy of removing the demonstrators and depositing a guarantee of thousands of shekels that will be confiscated – in case the detainee violates the conditions of the removal.

A source in the ultra-Orthodox community told Behadrei Haredim about the signing of the demonstrators: “Nothing will break us, not even a long sitting in detention. Removal from protest areas is undemocratic. We will fill the prisons, the demonstrators will not shy away from detention.”

“The police said that tonight there were riots and violent riots by hundreds of lawbreakers and rioters in several centers of light rail sites in Jerusalem.”

According to the police, the rioters hit the fences and entered the work sites in an attempt to disrupt the work on the spot, and later some of them threw stones at the police. Police forces are working at the scene at this time to restore order and repel the rioters, and have begun making arrests.

“The Israel Police will continue to allow the freedom of protest legally, but will not allow violent riots, vandalism and violation of public order in violation of the law,” the police said.
