Officers from Israel Police's Jerusalem District arrested two suspects during the overnight between Wednesday and Thursday, due to suspecting that they drew a gun and threatened haredi (ultra-Orthodox) protesters blocking Highway 1 during Wednesday's protests.
The suspicions were raised after a video of the alleged incident was circulated on social media, Israel Police confirmed.
The video, seen by The Jerusalem Post, appears to show one of the suspects in the driver's seat of a vehicle, going past the haredi protesters at a slow speed, leaning out of the window, and pointing what appears to be a pistol towards them, before driving off.
