In the past week, the Grodno Yeshiva continued its activities, contrary to the guidelines of the Ministry of Health.
The police arrived this morning (Friday) at the Grodno yeshiva in Ashdod, which belongs to the extremist Jerusalem faction, in order to prevent its opening, after it continued its activities last week despite the guidelines of the Ministry of Health and the closure.
Crowds began to gather at the scene, trying to enter despite instructions from the police.

As you may recall, about a week and a half ago, a municipal supervision team arrived and demanded that the place be closed and that the crowd of hundreds of students that had been formed there be dispersed.
The inspectors, who were attacked with stones and sticks, called the police, who were required to move dozens of policemen to the scene, including YSM forces and cavalry, and used mazes to disperse the demonstration, during which 15 demonstrators were arrested.
The ultra-Orthodox confronted the police, wounded three of them, blocked roads and refused to evacuate.
At the end of five hours of struggle - the traffic arteries in the area were opened.
