The hardline Jerusalem faction announced free transport from across the country to a protest it calls a 'massive protest' this afternoon in central Israel with an unspecified location. The call follows a similar controversial initiative by other hardline groups earlier this morning.
The hardline Jerusalem faction announced on Telegram a protest called 'a massive protest' for this afternoon in central Israel. The group said it would arrange free transportation from various parts of the country. The precise location has not yet been disclosed.
Earlier today, at 12:16 Jerusalem time, The Zioneer reported that extreme factions issued a separate call for a 'day of rage' with planned blockades at five central junctions from 16:30. The Jerusalem Faction's own initial call for protests and roadblocks this afternoon, reported at 15:03, cited the transfer of yeshiva students to military prison and promised 'surprises' with undisclosed blockade locations. That call followed the group's statement, also published at 15:03, that police had transferred 17 detainees to military prison, which it called a red line. The thread began at 15:03 with reports the faction was recalculating its protest map after police moved 19 students, a number later given as 17.
As The Zioneer reported at 12:16, extreme factions had already announced a 'day of rage' for Thursday with blockades at five named junctions, including the Ben Gurion interchange on Highway 1. The Jerusalem Faction in its initial call cited the arrest of yeshiva students and their transfer to military prison as the trigger for the afternoon demonstrations.
It is not immediately clear whether the free transport offer is to a specific protest or is a separate initiative, nor whether it aligns with the earlier 'day of rage' call or the Jerusalem Faction's own promised 'surprises'.
