Over 100 ultra-Orthodox protesters block the southbound lanes of Route 4, near the Bar Ilan interchange.

Police arrest seven protesters for blocking rush-hour traffic by lying on the Tel Aviv -area highway.

The incident comes on the heels of a number of demonstrations held by the ultra-Orthodox community recently, protesting the arrest of members of the community for draft dodging.
