A surprise protest by Druze demonstrators on Sunday evening led to the blocking of Highway 6 at the Eliakim interchange in northern Israel. The protestors ignited tires, causing significant traffic disruptions. The demonstration appears to be a response to an ongoing dispute concerning land confiscations in the Druze village of Julis. Earlier in the day, a similar protest occurred in Julis itself, where demonstrators also set tires ablaze and blocked roads. The Highway 6 protest was dispersed by police, who reopened the road to traffic. The specific demands of the protestors and the full extent of the land dispute were not detailed in the report.
