Ten haredi-religious Jews blocked the Tishbi Junction Sunday night, tied themselves up in a chain and lay on the ground in protest of military induction and the arrest of haredim who have not reported for duty.
Police arrived at the scene, declared the demonstration illegal and asked the demonstrators to leave the intersection. Seven demonstrators who were bound by the chain and refused to leave were detained for questioning. At this point, everyone has reserved the right to remain silent.
