Hundreds participated in the funeral of a leader of an extreme ultra-Orthodox community who passed away late Saturday in the predominately religious city in central Israel.

Some local residents were outraged by the lack of police response to the incident and called the participants of the funeral as "murderers."

Police claim the mourners observed the restrictions during the proceedings, but pictures obtained by Ynet show that was not the case.
