Earlier footage from the incident showed the two young soldiers being hurried away by police from thousands of ultra-Orthodox men running after them and yelling. Israeli police said the soldiers were performing a welfare visit but had not coordinated it with police. At least 22 people were arrested as protesters set police motorcycles on fire, attacked officers, threw trash and overturned a police car, police said. Many in Israel's ultra-Orthodox community are furious over laws that may force them to serve in the Israeli military, holding frequent protests. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly condemned the attack on the soldiers but blamed an “extremist minority” for the violence. Roughly 1.3 million ultra-Orthodox Jews make up about 13% of Israel’s population and oppose enlistment because they believe studying full time in religious seminaries is their most important duty. The broad exemptions from mandatory military service have reopened a deep divide in the country and infuriated much of the general public, especially during the two-year war in Gaza.
