Attacks on Israeli local authorities including policemen, firefighters and soldiers by anti-Zionist ultra-orthodox Jews are on the rise in Israel.
Anti-Zionist demonstrators attacked firefighters responding to a blaze Thursday in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood, the Israel Fire and Rescue Services said. The incident in Mea Shearim, a bastion of hard line ultra-Orthodox sects, came on Independence Day, which marks the inception of Israel.
