Protesters Block Entrance to IDF Central Command Base in Jerusalem Over Haredi Draft
On Monday morning, protesters opposing the conscription of yeshiva students blocked the entrance to the Central Command base at Metzudat Nehemiah near the Neve Yaakov neighborhood in Jerusalem. The demonstrators gathered at the base's gate, obstructing both entry and exit to protest the service of Haredi soldiers at the facility. After about an hour, a police officer declared the protest illegal. Police forces then arrived and cleared the protesters, restoring normal access to the base. The protest highlights ongoing tensions regarding the military draft of ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel.
