Extremist activists from the 'Anshei Hayil' organization are blocking the Jerusalem light rail on Bar Lev Boulevard at the entrance to the city, according to reports. The protest is against the detention of individuals arrested in the disturbance at the home of Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg, a case that has sparked ongoing protests.
The Zioneer has previously reported on similar demonstrations by ultra-Orthodox groups over the Sohlberg affair and related issues, including draft resistance. In recent weeks, protesters have blocked the light rail, set fires, and clashed with police. The current blockade is expected to disrupt traffic into Jerusalem.
