News, Orthodox Jews protest Saturday shift at Intel. (Sabbath, Israel)

[JD59]

JERUSALEM - Around 3,000 ultra-Orthodox Jews demonstrated Saturday outside an Intel plant in Jerusalem to protest its operating on the Jewish Sabbath, which they view as a desecration of the sanctity of the holy city.

Police, who had been expecting the demonstrations, hid inside the chip-making plant earlier and rushed out at the surprised protesters when they arrived, said Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby.
