Dozens of residents gathered at the entrance to Kfar Yona on Friday afternoon to block draft opponents arriving for what they called a 'pre-Sabbath pressure protest.' Some of the female counter-protesters reportedly removed clothing to disrupt the demonstration; the other side responded by singing, according to a report from the scene.
A counter-protest unfolded outside the entrance to Kfar Yona on Friday afternoon, as dozens of local residents sought to block an incoming demonstration by opponents of military conscription. According to a message from journalist Daniel Amram, some female counter-protesters undressed in an effort to disrupt the anti-conscription activists, who were gathering ahead of the Sabbath. The two sides then exchanged songs — the counter-protesters sang "Hatikvah" while the draft opponents chanted a verse in response. The incident is the latest in a string of confrontations around Prison 10 and the Kfar Yona area this month, as protests and counter-protests over ultra-Orthodox draft enforcement continue to intensify. No injuries or police intervention have been reported in this specific incident.
