Jerusalem Clashes After Parking Ticket Leave Police Injured, Four Arrested

Police say the unrest stemmed from a municipal citation rather than a draft sweep.

Overview

  • Police and Border Police deployed riot units after crowds massed near Bar Ilan Street, with video showing stun grenades, tear gas, water cannon and baton use.
  • Authorities reported between 10 and 13 injured officers and said four suspects were detained as investigators review additional footage.
  • Protesters overturned a patrol car and hurled stones and debris at officers, while police denied conducting any draft enforcement at the scene.
  • Ultra-Orthodox organizers issued “black alert” calls in recent days that helped foil attempted arrests in Herzliya and Ramat Hasharon after an earlier detention in Ramat Gan.
  • The Jerusalem unrest prompted nationwide road blockages by anti-conscription protesters, and senior officials condemned the violence and pledged accountability.
