Overview

• Coordinated evening protests led by Peleg Yerushalmi and the Committee for the Salvation of Torah World blocked Highways 2, 4, 6 and 57, along with major streets in Bnei Brak.
• The demonstrations were mounted in response to recent arrests of yeshiva students who refused to report to IDF draft offices.
• Organizers announced a rally at Prison 10 but used the declaration as a decoy before unloading buses to shut junctions near Beit Lid.
• Police confronted the crowds, reported spitting and Nazi slurs, and arrested at least one person after an officer was spat on, as some motorists scuffled with protesters.
• National Traffic Police warned drivers to avoid affected routes due to very heavy congestion as organizers pledged further shutdowns as part of an unlimited campaign.
