Members of the extremist Jerusalem Faction from Rabbi Tzvi Friedman's community protested on Monday near Bnei Brak against the arrest of young haredi men who did not report for military service.
The protesters blocked Route 4 and Jabotinsky Road in Bnei Brak for several hours and clashed with police officers.
A police commander declared the protest an illegal assembly before using crowd dispersal measures. Despite the warnings, the demonstrators did not heed the officers' directions and continued to disturb the peace and block the road.
The police had to use force to disperse the demonstrators, who responded by calling the officers "Nazis." One demonstrator was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer.
