Tire fires set in capital
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFirefighters say they have put out two tire fires in Jerusalem, likely set by anti-IDF draft protesters.
One tire fire was set up on Herzl Boulevard, a major artery between the entrance of the city and its southern neighborhoods, and another fire was at the Arazim tunnels road, which connects the Ramot neighborhood to the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway, Ynet reported.
Tire fires are often used in protests in Israel to block roads, though many roads in the area are already closed off.
Police and other officers are on high alert for breakouts of violence or other rioting during the massive protest.
