Police have arrested 15 members of the haredi-religious Peleg Yerushalmi Jerusalem faction during a demonstration in which members of the faction blocked the intersection of Yafo and Sarei-Yisrael Streets and disrupted traffic near the Jerusalem Central Bus Station.
The demonstrators were protesting the arrest of a yeshiva student for failure to report to an Israel Defense Forces induction office and to pending legislation on the drafting of haredim into the military.
