Police have been operating since the early hours of the morning near the Grodno Yeshiva in Ashdod and are preventing learning occurring there in contravention of orders.
Several dozen haredi people arriving at the scene tried to enter the compound by force, confronted the police, and caused damage to the fence surrounding the compound, injuring four policemen.
Also at this time, rioters are blocking a traffic lane and confronting police, who have so far arrested four suspects identified as violating public order.
