Protests in Jerusalem turned violent as demonstrators clashed with law enforcement officers and targeted a government minister's car. The unrest stemmed from the Israeli Supreme Court's recent ruling ordering the drafting of ultra-Orthodox Jews into the military.
According to local police reports, rioters threw stones at police officers and attacked Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf's car as he returned home. Trash cans were set on fire, and the highway was blocked by protesters.
