Earlier in the day, extreme ultra-Orthodox protests took place across central Israel and Jerusalem. In Jerusalem, hundreds of protesters blocked the entrance to the city at the Chords Bridge, and dozens disrupted traffic on Bar Ilan Street. During these demonstrations, a vehicle was documented hitting protesters, though no injuries were reported. In one incident, a police officer used batons and stun grenades, and an ultra-Orthodox soldier was extracted from a vehicle while his two female relatives shielded each other in fear of an attack.
