Ultra-Orthodox (haredi) demonstrators in Jerusalem harassed IDF soldiers and Border Police officers in two separate instances on Thursday night, according to footage shared on social media.
In the first incident, footage shows a group of Border Police officers walking through Jerusalem were chased by a haredi mob, made up of both adults and children.
According to the footage, boxes were thrown at the officers as demonstrators called them "Nazis," while shouting for them to get out of the area.
Footage of the second incident, also shared across social media, appears to show three soldiers also being chased after by a haredi mob, who are shouting and throwing objects at them.
Israeli media reported that the three soldiers serve in the IDF's haredi Netzah Yehuda Battalion.
Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman condemned the incident in a post to X/Twitter on Thursday night.
"Don't be surprised if you don't hear a single condemnation from the October Massacre government," he wrote. "They're in the pocket of those same draft dodgers who attack soldiers in the streets of Jerusalem and call them 'Nazis.'"
Protest over arrest of 63 draft dodgers
According to Ynet, the two incidents come on the tail end of a haredi car procession and march from Beit Shemesh to Kikar Hashabbat in Jerusalem, protesting the detention of 63 draft dodgers.
The 63 were reportedly arrested over their suspected involvement in the violent protest outside of the home of Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg in early June.
Protesters in the demonstration held signs reading "We will never serve in the enemy's army," Ynet reported on Thursday evening.
