Dozens from the Neturei Karta Hassidic sect demonstrated today (Sunday) in front of the Israeli Draft Office, over the arrest of a yeshiva student who had refused to comply with his draft to the IDF.

Police arrested three demonstrators who attacked police, as well as a minor who damaged a police vehicle.

During the demonstration, a riot policeman was injured lightly from rocks thrown at him. In response, police arrested eight demonstrators.
