A nascent protest initiative aims to slow traffic Wednesday with vehicle convoys from all Haredi cities toward Military Prison 6, to encourage detained draft evaders, according to a report from N12 journalist Eli Hirschman.
A new Haredi protest initiative is being circulated among rabbis and community activists, calling for vehicle convoys from all Haredi cities to converge on Military Prison 6 (also known as Prison 10, the main IDF military prison for deserters) on Wednesday, N12 journalist Eli Hirschman reports. The goal is to slow traffic en route and show solidarity with draft evaders currently held there. The planning is at an early stage. The initiative follows two weeks of escalating protests over the military service of ultra-Orthodox men, which have seen highway blockades, a violent incident on Highway 6, and a clash in Ashdod where a detained deserter was released under pressure. This is the first publicly reported attempt at a structured, multi-city convoy aimed at the prison itself, rather than ad-hoc street blockades. The report is based on a single source — the journalist's own account — and no official confirmation or verified planning details have emerged.
