Haredis march against IDF draft in Jerusalem
Last week, thousands of haredi protesters took part in an anti-draft march in Jerusalem, welcoming home haredi draft evaders who were released from military prison.
The march took place in the Kikar HaShabbat area, along the Shmuel HaNavi and Bar Ilan streets in the capital city.
According to KAN News, the march was organized by the anti-IDF draft extremist haredi Jerusalem Faction (Peleg Yerushalmi).
This is a developing story.
