As part of the police activity in the Jerusalem area, a number of suspects were arrested during the enforcement of the night curfew. • Many forces were deployed at the entrances to the capital in order to locate organized transportation.
After the ministers approved the restrictions in Jerusalem over the weekend, this morning (Sunday) police forces were deployed inside the city of Jerusalem, along with checkpoints on the intercity routes to locate transportation on their way to the capital, contrary to instructions.

Police have also announced that they will work to locate prohibited gatherings throughout the city.
In addition, we will mention that the blockades in Jerusalem came after the night curfew that ended tonight at midnight, during which many police forces operated throughout Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh and the surrounding localities to enforce the guidelines and prevent gatherings.
In several cases, stones were thrown at police officers, injuring them.
On Ben Gurion Boulevard in Beit Shemesh, a group of boys spent time in the Apple Park, one of them throwing a glass bottle.
When the police arrived, the suspects fled except for the suspect who remained at the scene, but refused to identify herself, went on a rampage and attacked the police officers.
The suspect was arrested despite her opposition and during her arrest another suspect arrived and attacked a policewoman in the head with an object and fled the scene.
He was later located and arrested for questioning.
Beyond that, while the police were operating on Etz Hadar Street in Jerusalem, stones were thrown at her.
As a result, the mobility of the police officers was damaged.
At the end of a foot chase, a minor suspect was arrested for throwing stones and was taken in for questioning.
Later that night, a minor suspect was found on Bar Ilan Street who tried to throw stones at the forces.
The suspect was arrested and taken for questioning by the police and a suspicion was investigated that he was involved last night in another case in which a police car on Shmuel Hanavi Street was damaged.
Later, a violent riot began while attacking police officers and throwing stones on Etz Hadar Street at the corner of Shmuel Hanavi, during which a police officer was hit in the head by a stone that hit and smashed the car window.
