The Mea Shearim thugs kept being the gift that keeps on giving to the left:

Police ran into violent clashes Monday night in Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox Mea She’arim neighborhood, with three officers suffering mild injuries.

During an initial arrest raid, a group of officers was trapped in a building after local residents barricaded them inside with chains. A suspect wanted by police tried to evade arrest the next day by dressing as a woman.

Notice how there's an example there who sees nothing wrong with violating religious prohibitions on cross-dressing as the opposite sex, if that's what it takes to evade authorities? A classic example of the hypocrisy of such extremists.

Police arrived with court-ordered arrest warrants for several suspects as part of an ongoing investigation, the force said in a statement Tuesday. The suspects were wanted for a spate of recent violent protests against a new route of the Jerusalem Light Rail that passes through an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood, Hebrew media reported.

As officers moved in to make the arrests, they were met with violent opposition by local residents who pelted them with various objects and attacked them, the statement said.

Additional police units deployed as backup were also attacked and damage was caused to police vehicles. Police used riot dispersal means to clear the protesters.

In one location, residents locked doorways using chains, preventing entry or exit from a building. Officers operating in the area needed to be rescued by other police units.

Returning on Tuesday to follow up on the arrests, police detained one of the wanted suspects who tried to evade capture by wearing women’s clothes and a face mask, the statement said.

No further arrests were apparently made, though police said they were working on tracking down additional suspects.

The three injured officers required medical treatment, police said.

Honestly, if that's how they're going to behave over petty issues, then imposing a curfew on their neighborhoods would be recommended. Yet in the past, the leftists who'd dominated the police would only go after Zionists, which these Haredi extremists are definitely not. Yet the MSM won't say anything about that, because if this helps the left with their anti-religious propaganda, they'll run the narrative accordingly.

This wasn't the only atrocity occurring in such a community this week. There was also a brawl between rival factions at a Bnei Brak yeshiva:

A long-simmering feud between two factions at one of Israel's most prestigious yeshivas (religious seminaries) erupted into physical violence Tuesday, with police being called to separate the brawlers.

At least two people were hospitalized at Sheba Medical Center after members of the two factions at the Ponevezh Yeshiva in Bnei Brak, known as the "terrorists" and the "haters," came to blows.

The row began after evening prayers Monday and descended into violence after afternoon prayers Tuesday.

One of those who required medical treatment for minor injuries was Rabbi Aryeh Leib Kahaneman, the son of yeshiva dean Rabbi Eliezer Kahaneman. The other was a student who required treatment after he was hit by pepper spray.

The yeshiva has been at the center of a power struggle for many years between the two factions of the same Lithuanian non-Hassidic ultra-Orthodox sector.

The yeshiva is essentially two seminaries in one, with each faction living in separate quarters but studying and dining together.

And clashing with each other, in what's clearly a case of failure to teach the students not to solve problems with violence. Yet another example what's wrong with insular communities.
