Haredim are demonstrating at the junction between Yirmiyahu and Shamgar streets in Jerusalem, with clashes already being reported between protesters and police.

The haredim are protesting the government's decision to lock down haredi neighborhoods, claiming that they are being treated in a discriminatory manner.

Multiple instances of police brutality and even violence have been documented in the past few weeks against members of the haredi community, with videos circulating on media outlets and the haredi community's frustration and anger mounting by the day.
