Haredi protest convoys have begun arriving at Prison 10 at the Beit Lid military base as of 19:11, according to reports from the scene. The convoys are part of ongoing ultra-Orthodox demonstrations against IDF draft enforcement and the arrest of draft evaders. Police had earlier blocked the entrance to Kfar Yona on the route leading to the prison, as reported by The Zioneer (Wed, 18:20). Traffic nationwide has been heavy throughout the evening due to the protest activity. The arrival at the facility follows a day of protest convoys that police earlier estimated at 1,000–1,200 vehicles. The demonstration's next steps remain unclear, with police forces deployed in the area.
