Extremist Haredi protesters with the Jerusalem Faction block the Route 4 highway near Bnei Brak in protest of the possibility of being conscripted to the IDF, amid a key High Court hearing on the issue.

Protesters also block streets in Jerusalem near the Supreme Court, where the hearing is being held.
