Haredi protests block roads across Israel
Protests were organized by Haredi Jews in central Israel opposed to mandatory conscription. Dozens of protesters blocked Highway 4 near the Yavne intersection in response to a court ruling sentencing two students from the Or HaKhayim religious school to 20 days in prison after they refused military service. The police attempted to clear the roads of the protesters, whom they described as rioters, following the arrest of the students over the weekend. This escalation is a response to the conscription of Haredi men into the Israeli army.
