Deadliest Israel Protest: Jews 'BURN' Jerusalem As Military Draft Riots Explode
Jerusalem descended into chaos as thousands of ultra-Orthodox Haredi Jews protested a proposed law to conscript them into Israel’s military, amid severe manpower shortages as the IDF fights on multiple fronts. What began as mass demonstrations turned deadly when a bus struck protesters, killing a 14-year-old boy and injuring three others. Police arrested the driver and reported widespread riots, including arson, road blockades, attacks on journalists, and clashes with security forces. Protesters accused the government of religious persecution and vowed to defy military service. Authorities deployed hundreds of officers as unrest spread to recruitment offices beyond Jerusalem.
