The radical ultra-Orthodox movement 'Peleh Yerushalmi' has announced plans for large-scale protests in Jerusalem and the Gush Dan region on Thursday, October 8, beginning at 4:00 PM. The protests are a response to the recent detention of two yeshiva students evading military conscription. One student was arrested in Eilat on October 6, and another in Beersheba on the morning of October 7. This action follows a decision made at a Ministry of Justice meeting to resume the search and detention of yeshiva students avoiding military service. Specific locations for the protests and road blockades have not yet been announced. During previous demonstrations, 'Peleh Yerushalmi' activists blocked major transportation routes during peak hours, disrupting the commute for many Israelis.
