A large prayer rally in Jerusalem, organized by ultra-Orthodox groups to protest military conscription, ended with clashes between young demonstrators and Border Police. Despite calls from organizers for a peaceful dispersal, hundreds remained near the city's entrance, leading to confrontations when some attempted to access a nearby construction site linked to a recent fatal accident. Attendees expressed sadness over the violence, noting the event's broader support from mainstream ultra-Orthodox political parties. The situation highlights ongoing tensions surrounding conscription policies and community responses.
