Organizers of the Haredi protest convoys claim over 8,000 vehicles are participating, with heavy traffic congestion reported on Route 38, according to journalist Eli Hirschman. The convoys are part of the ongoing anti-government protest movement.
Organizers of the Haredi protest convoys reported over 8,000 vehicles taking part Wednesday evening, with heavy traffic on Route 38, per journalist Eli Hirschman. The claim — which could not be independently verified — is the highest participant count stated for the ongoing slow-roll protests against the government that have been running all week. As The Zioneer reported at 17:16, a truck driver earlier deliberately blocked a convoy on the same road, citing 'Torah honor.' Police had warned earlier Wednesday that Haredi protesters on Highway 4 were deviating from agreed terms, leaving their vehicles. The convoys come amid wider anti-government demonstrations, with traffic disruptions spreading across 19 cities.
