The extended remand of a protestor who is in incarceration from last week’s protest outside the Jerusalem IDF Induction Center led to more stormy protests at Jerusalem’s Kikar Shabbos on Sunday night the eve of 11 Teves.
This includes the standard setting of garbage receptacles ablaze.
One arrest was made as police moved in to keep the street open to traffic.
Additional protests are expected, with signs plastered around Meah Shearim calling for renewed Hafganos.

Why is this acceptable? There are peaceful protests, but this doesn’t seem like one.
If they have time to protest, they’re not learning in the beit midrash. If they’re not learning in the beit midrash, they should be in the IDF. They can’t have it both ways!
Behaving like a bunch of Vilde Chayes. No better than the Black Lives Matters protests in New York. Hashem Yirachem.
Perhaps the time has come to enact legislation that would enable the state to punish such ‘holy hooligans’ in ways that might actually deter them (jail time is but a boon for them, making them heroes in their social group, and is thus almost never sought against them). Punishments should include ineligibility for any further exemption from military service and heavy fines and other financial consequences.
Who gives them permission to upset the shopping and transportation in Meah Shearim?
People on the bus from Har Nof can not get downtown or to the kotel, this is unheard of in any civilized nation.
a few punks who dress in black set fire to garbage bins and delay hundreds of people on buses.
They should be given jail sentences and put into cells with secular Television so they have some form of entertainment since they are incapable of thinking.
