Dozens of protesters from the extremist "Anshei Chayil" group, a faction within the Edah HaChareidis ultra-Orthodox community, demonstrated in Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh on Tuesday following recent arrests of yeshiva students. The protesters are specifically demonstrating against the detention of three students on Route 90.
In Jerusalem, the protest took place at the intersection of Shari Yisrael and Jaffa streets. Some demonstrators wore helmets emblazoned with the slogan "Shield Against Police Violence," citing fears of aggression from law enforcement. Another protest occurred on Route 38 in Beit Shemesh.
At both locations, protesters blocked traffic, prompting a police response to clear the demonstrators and reopen the roads. A police spokesperson stated that Jerusalem district officers and Border Police forces were preparing to remove the rioters and restore public order. Authorities advised drivers to avoid the protest areas and use alternative routes until the roads were cleared.
