Protesters Block Major Roads in Gush Dan Over Yeshiva Students' Arrests

Dozens of protesters are currently blocking the Geha Junction and Highway 4 near Bnei Brak in central Israel, demonstrating against the arrest of yeshiva students who failed to report to military recruitment offices. The protests are part of a broader outcry over the enforcement of conscription laws on ultra-Orthodox students.

Later this evening, a significant demonstration is expected outside Prison 10, organized by the Hasidic community of Sanz, following the detention of a young man affiliated with the sect. The police are deploying increased forces to manage the roadblocks and heavy traffic congestion anticipated across major routes in the Gush Dan area.

Authorities are preparing for ongoing disruptions as the protests highlight tensions between the ultra-Orthodox community and the Israeli military regarding conscription policies.
