Police disperse Haredi anti-draft protest that blocked Route 4 for hours

Police have dispersed a major anti-conscription protest near Bnei Brak, where hundreds of ultra-Orthodox demonstrators blocked Route 4 for over two hours. The protest was organized by the hardline Jerusalem Faction in response to the arrest of yeshiva students accused of dodging conscription orders. Officers arrested three individuals for rioting as they struggled to clear the crowd and reopen the highway to traffic. Footage from the scene showed tense confrontations between police and protesters, with demonstrators refusing to leave the road and reportedly using harsh language toward officers.
