False Report of Draft Evasion Leads to Jerusalem Road Blockade
A false report of an attempted arrest of a yeshiva student on Begin Road North in Jerusalem, near the Malha exit, led to a significant traffic disruption early Thursday morning. The incident began around 2:00 AM when a report was received alleging an arrest attempt.
In response to this report, Haredi protesters arrived at the scene and blocked the northbound lanes of Begin Road. The blockade caused considerable traffic delays in the area.
However, it was later clarified that the initial report was inaccurate. The alleged arrest was not related to the enforcement of the draft law for Haredi men, which has been a point of contention and protest in recent times. The actual reason for the incident, once clarified, was a traffic offense.
