Jerusalem, Israel - Thousands of ultra-Orthodox are holding a demonstration in Jerusalem this evening in protest of the planned parade , which is scheduled to take place in the city next Friday.
The rally marks the third straight day in which Jerusalem haredim are protesting against the parade. Ultra-Orthodox began to hurl stones from Tzfania Street toward the Bar-Ilan Road and set garbage cans ablaze. One police officer was hurt when a stone struck him in the head; he was evacuated to a nearby hospital in light to moderate condition.
Jerusalem police detained 16 haredim for questioning, under suspicion for rioting and throwing stones. During the protest, demonstrators threw metal bars, tear gas, stones and eggs.
A police officer was injured in his face from an unidentified burning agent thrown on him by haredi protesters. He is being treated at the scene.
