Police clashed with protesters in Jerusalem streets outside a Talmud Torah building and brought in a water cannon truck to disperse the crowds.

Inside the building, dozens of children were continuing to study despite the mandated shutdown of the country’s entire education system, excluding special education. The Kan public broadcaster reported that 17 people were arrested in the clashes.

Police said they also raided a synagogue in the Haredi city of Beitar Illit and fined dozens of people found inside. Under the rules of the lockdown, no more than five people are permitted to gather indoors and no more than 10 outdoors.

Wednesday’s clashes followed events the day before as police closed a yeshiva in the Sanhedria Haredi neighborhood of Jerusalem, arresting 20 people during street scuffles, and shuttered another yeshiva in Bnei Brak.

On Tuesday night, police shut down a wedding attended by dozens of people at a school gymnasium decked out as an event hall in Ramat Shlomo, a Haredi neighborhood in Jerusalem. Citations were given to those who participated and the organizers fined, the force said in a statement.

Netanyahu on Monday asked Rav Chaim Kanievsky, to keep schools shuttered if the lockdown is extended, on Tuesday the government voted to extend the lockdown by ten days until the end of the month.
