Fire service says Haredi demonstrators pushed burning dumpsters at firefighters, injuring them
The Israel Fire and Rescue Service says firefighters were attacked by Haredi demonstrators in Jerusalem while working to extinguish objects that were set ablaze during a protest against enlisting ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students in the military.
The fire service says the demonstrators pushed five burning dumpsters toward the firefighters and threw objects at them. It adds that firefighters were hurt but doesn’t specify their conditions.
Police, meanwhile, say six officers were hurt while responding to the rioting and arrested two demonstrators.
