Israelis protest over calls for segregation by ultra-Orthodox Jews
Several thousand Israelis have demonstrated in the town of Beit Shemesh against the behaviour of ultra-Orthodox Jews, who want to enforce segregation between men and women.
The town has been at the centre of controversy in Israel since some ultra-Orthodox men harassed and spat at an eight-year-old girl on her way to school, accusing her of failing to dress modestly.
The Israeli president has said a minority in Israel is acting outrageously and violating national solidarity.
