Buses filled a parking lot opposite a prison Monday evening, according to journalist Eli Hirsman. Police tried to close the gate, prompting some Hasidim to attempt to knock down the fence. Police then left the gate open. The aim of the gathering was not reported.
As of Monday evening, the protest outside Prison 10 escalated when buses filled the adjacent parking lot to capacity. After police attempted to close the gate, several Hasidic protesters tried to knock down the fence. Police then left the gate open, according to N12’s Eli Hirschman.
Earlier Monday evening at 21:11 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Gur Hasidim had dismantled a fence at the IDF base adjacent to Prison 10 during the protest. Shortly thereafter, clashes broke out at the site. In subsequent updates, the crowd swelled, filling the parking lot, and police tried to close the gate, leading to the fence-trying incident. All reports have been sourced to N12 and consistently attribute the demonstration to Gur Hasidim, though the purpose of the gathering has not been stated.
The demonstration remains ongoing, with no official statement from police or organizers. The specific trigger for tonight’s gathering has not been reported.
The purpose of the gathering and the cause of the protest remain unclear. No injuries have been reported. The Zioneer will continue to monitor the situation.
