JERUSALEM —
Eight ultra-Orthodox Jews were arrested Saturday after police dispersed a protest in Jerusalem against desecration of the Sabbath, Israel Radio reported.
The protesters blocked an intersection and threw stones at police, the radio said.
It was the first ultra-Orthodox demonstration in two months. Last summer, ultra-Orthodox protesters staged weekly demonstrations against the movement of traffic and the screening of films on the Sabbath.
