A massive rally of ultra-Orthodox Jewish Israelis protest against military conscription

A massive rally of ultra-Orthodox Jewish Israelis protesting against military conscription today turned violent as the crowd threw bottles at a female reporter and a teenage boy fell to his death. A packed crowd of an estimated 200,000 people, mostly men, clogged the roads around the Route 1 highway leading into Jerusalem today. Photos showed many had climbed atop roofs of buildings, a gas station and onto cranes.
