Dozens of ultra-Orthodox men blocked Highway 4 at the Gan Yavne interchange on Tuesday morning to protest the arrest of draft dodgers. The protesters, who are part of the ultra-Orthodox community, expressed their opposition to the conscription of yeshiva students into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The demonstration caused significant traffic disruptions in the area, with police working to clear the road and restore normal traffic flow. The protesters' actions highlight the ongoing tensions between segments of the ultra-Orthodox community and the state over military service exemptions for yeshiva students.
This protest comes amid a broader national debate about the extent to which ultra-Orthodox men should be required to serve in the military, a long-standing issue that has caused friction between religious and secular segments of Israeli society.
