JERUSALEM, Israel – The Israeli police’s enforcement of the nationwide virus lockdown has erupted into violence between authorities and Israel’s ultra-Orthodox communities.
On Monday, a mob of ultra-Orthodox rioters in the city of Bnei Brak attacked two buses, setting one on fire. The rioters pulled an Arab driver from his bus and beat him before setting the vehicle on fire, Israeli media reported. The driver sustained minor injuries.
The flames destroyed the bus and ate through nearby electric cables, triggering blackouts in some parts of the city.
