Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) protesters gathered at the Maccabim checkpoint near Modi'in on Thursday night, after rumors spread that police were arresting a draft evader at the scene, N12 News reported.
Soldiers at the scene reportedly told the crowd that the detainee was in fact an undocumented resident, not a draft evader.
Footage spread on social media appeared to show altercations between police officers and members of the crowd.
This is a developing story.
