Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) protesters blocked a road in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo on Tuesday, according to Ynet.
Ynet noted that the protest was sparked by reports of a draft dodger's arrest. However, the report turned out to be false as the associated police activity was related to a traffic offense, not an enlistment refusal.
Eight participants were arrested during the riot, during which fires were started, and a police station was broken into.
"We will not tolerate any harm to the symbols of government and to the valuable police officers who work to protect the law and the public," said Jerusalem District Police Commander Avshalom Peled.
Also on Tuesday, Jerusalem District Police raided the homes of suspects connected to the June 1 haredi riots in Beit Shemesh.
"The serious incident that occurred at the Beit Shemesh station, in which rioters started a violent riot and broke into the station compound, constitutes crossing a red line and a direct attack on the legal institutions of the State of Israel," he added.
"We will not tolerate anarchy and will not allow harm to police officers or police facilities," said Peled. "The targeted arrests carried out tonight are just one step in a determined and ongoing enforcement activity, and anyone who took part in disorder, vandalism, or harming police officers should know that the long arm of the police will reach them at the time, place, and way of our choosing."
Rioters block traffic, throw stones
In addition to the riot at the police station, other rioters attempted to block traffic on Route 38 by throwing stones.
According to Ynet, the riot was eventually quelled through the use of batons and stun grenades.
The riot followed a May 27 KAN News report that the IDF had requested police assistance to prepare for the mass arrest of hundreds of haredi draft dodgers.
An additional riot took place on Wednesday at the home of Supreme Court Deputy President Justice Noam Sohlberg, resulting in the arrest of over 60 suspects.
