Protests in Jerusalem turned violent on Sunday as demonstrators clashed with law enforcement officers and targeted a government minister's car. The unrest stemmed from opposition to a recent Israeli Supreme Court ruling mandating the drafting of ultra-Orthodox Jews into the military.
According to local police reports, rioters threw stones at police officers and attacked the car of Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf as he made his way home. Trash cans were set on fire, and the highway was blocked by protesters.
