Dozens of Druze protesters staged a surprise demonstration on Highway 6 on Sunday evening, blocking traffic in both directions near the Eliakim interchange. The protest was sparked by the weekend assault of a young Druze man outside a Tel Aviv club. According to the man's father, he and two friends were celebrating a birthday when they were attacked after speaking Arabic. The father claimed his son identified himself and his companions as Druze, and that two soldiers were with them, but their attackers did not believe him due to his accent. The young man was stabbed and moderately injured in the altercation, and three suspects have since been arrested. Protesters lit tires on the highway, leading to significant traffic congestion. Police from the Northern District and Traffic Division were on the scene, directing traffic and working to maintain order.
