A group known as the "Hertzpenikim" is planning protests and road blockades across central Israel on Sunday afternoon, following the arrest of yeshiva students. The demonstrations, ordered by Rabbi Zvi Friedman, are scheduled to begin at 4:00 PM in the Gush Dan and central regions. The immediate trigger for the protests is the arrest and subsequent 20-day military prison sentence of two yeshiva students in Rishon LeZion. One of the detained students is Yedidya Mizrahi, who studies at the Ohr Hachaim yeshiva. The "Hertzpenikim" view these arrests as part of a broader crackdown on yeshiva students and aim to express their opposition to the detention and imprisonment of Torah scholars. Traffic disruptions are anticipated starting at 4:00 PM on Highway 4 in both directions, in the Bnei Brak area, at the Geha Junction, Gannot Interchange, and at the entrances and exits of Giv'at Shmuel. Drivers in the affected areas are advised to prepare for congestion, consider alternative routes, and stay updated with police announcements.
