Trains packed, thousands of vehicles join convoys toward Jerusalem for central protest

Heavy congestion is reported at train stations across the country, and public transportation is packed with protesters heading for a demonstration outside the Knesset in Jerusalem.

Trains heading from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem are so packed that several have been unable to take on passengers at stops during their routes as they make their way to the capital.

Thousands of cars and buses are driving in convoys toward the capital, the Walla news site reports.

Tens of thousands of people are participating in a nationwide strike to protest the government’s contentious judicial overhaul.

Demonstrators are gathering outside the parliament, where a Knesset committee is holding a session on advancing parts of the legislation.
