Activists from the Jerusalem Faction are planning protests across Israel on Thursday afternoon, beginning at 4:00 PM, in response to the recent arrests of two draft dodgers. The protests are expected to cause traffic disruptions and potential road closures, particularly near the Chords Bridge entrance to Jerusalem and on Highway 4. The exact locations of the demonstrations are being kept secret, but authorities anticipate major blockages in these areas, leading to heavy traffic congestion. The arrests that triggered the planned protests involved two young Haredi men who failed to report for IDF service. The military police apprehended one draft dodger in Beersheba overnight, and the previous day, a student from the Hebron Yeshiva was arrested in Eilat. He was found in an apartment belonging to a known drug offender and transferred to military police investigation. The leader of the Jerusalem Faction, Rabbi Azriel Auerbach, instructed his followers to protest the arrests, calling it an "abandonment of yeshiva students." Drivers are advised to stay updated on traffic arrangements and prepare for possible delays.
