Haredi activists blocked the entrance to the IDF Central Command base in Jerusalem on Tuesday morning, according to Israeli media. The protest is part of an ongoing campaign against military draft enforcement for ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students.
Haredi activists blocked the entrance to the IDF Central Command base in Jerusalem shortly after 08:00 on Tuesday, Israeli media reported. The protest is the latest in a series of demonstrations targeting military and government facilities as the debate over ultra-Orthodox conscription intensifies.
The action follows similar protests in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 22, extremists blocked the Beit Lid military prison. On June 24, Haredi demonstrators blocked a bus carrying soldiers near Jerusalem. On June 12, hundreds confronted police in Ashdod. No arrests have yet been reported at the Central Command base. Police are on scene.
