Organizer Eli Hirschan announced preparations for vehicle convoys of Haredi protesters in Bnei Brak, ahead of a planned demonstration, according to Israeli media reports. The call for convoys follows a pattern of protests this month against arrests of draft evaders.
Organizer Eli Hirschan announced preparations for vehicle convoys of Haredi protesters in Bnei Brak, toward a planned demonstration yet to be specified. The call for convoys aligns with a broader protest wave this month against the arrest of draft evaders, which has included demonstrations in Ashdod and near Prison 10.
As The Zioneer reported on June 24, Haredi protesters had gathered in Ashdod earlier today for a 16:00 departure toward Prison 10. The current call from Bnei Brak indicates a parallel or subsequent mobilization. Specific timing and destination of the Bnei Brak convoys have not been detailed.
The demonstration wave stems from recent IDF enforcement of conscription for Haredi yeshiva students, leading to arrests of draft evaders and resulting in daily protests in several cities. The situation remains fluid, with further announcements expected.
