Jerusalem highway blocked by Haredi anti-draft protesters
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSeveral hundred ultra-Orthodox men in Jerusalem are protesting the arrest of a member of their community for draft dodging, briefly blocking a major highway into Jerusalem.
Police disperse the protesters who were blocking several major roads in the capital, including Route 1 by the Harel Interchange.
Ultra-Orthodox protesters have clashed with police in various demonstrations recently against IDF conscription of members of their community.
