by time news

Disturbances and riots took place this evening (Monday) on Malki Israel Street in Jerusalem, due to the opposition of ultra-Orthodox to the sale of non-kosher cell phones. At this time, the police forces are working on the scene to maintain order.

At first, the police acted to allow a protest to take place, but at a certain point the protesters began to riot, to try to damage the cell phone store on the spot, with the police separating the protesters from it. All this while using small children in the front line of the demonstrators. In addition, violators blocked the road and threw an object that caused damage to a passing bus.

After an order to disperse was given by a police officer, the disturbances continued with a plastic bottle being thrown at the police officers, many hateful calls and profanities, and a violent riot.
