Gilat Junction Reopens After 90-Minute Haredi Protest

Police said Gilat Junction was reopened to traffic about an hour and a half after ultra-Orthodox protesters blocked the area in response to the arrest of a yeshiva student, known in Hebrew as an avreich.

The demonstration began after the arrest and disrupted traffic at the junction before police announced that the road had been cleared and vehicles could pass again.

No further details were provided about the arrest or the size of the protest. The police statement was the only official update in the article.
