A slow-drive protest convoy against the arrest of Haredi draft evaders is scheduled for Wednesday at 16:00, with vehicles departing from multiple locations nationwide toward Prison 10. Agudat Yisrael has submitted 80 departure points for police approval, according to multiple sources. Heavy traffic is expected.
A coordinated Haredi protest convoy against the arrest of draft evaders is set for Wednesday afternoon, with organizers planning a slow-drive rally converging on Military Prison 10. The plan, first reported by Daniel Gubais (Kaan News) early Monday, has since been confirmed by Hamodia and Yediot Aharonot. Agudat Yisrael has formally submitted a list of 80 departure points across the country for police approval, according to journalist Yooley Bareem. The protest follows weeks of escalating Haredi demonstrations over the military's enforcement of draft laws, which have included roadblocks and mass gatherings outside the same prison — as The Zioneer has previously reported. Organizers say the convoy will drive slowly with signs and music; Degel HaTorah may join later. Police have not yet announced road closures or restrictions.
