Police are currently blocking cars that are part of the ultra-Orthodox anti-conscription convoy from entering the town of Kfar Yona, where they intend to demonstrate outside the Neve Tzedek (Beit Lid) military prison, Ynet reports.
A correspondent at the scene says that police are redirecting Haredi motorists to a nearby parking lot. Residents have pledged not to allow the demonstrators to enter their town.
