The Edah HaChareidis is holding a midnight rally at Zupnik Square in Jerusalem against the arrest of yeshiva students, according to ultra-Orthodox journalist Yisrael Weisberg.
Yisrael Weisberg reported the planned rally on Friday shortly after midnight. The protest is organized by the Edah HaChareidis, a Haredi community organization, at Zupnik Square in the Geula neighborhood. The demonstration is directed against arrests of yeshiva students, which have been a recurring flashpoint between parts of the Haredi public and law enforcement over military conscription and other legal issues. No immediate reports of violence or arrests at the rally itself are available. The Zioneer has not previously reported on this specific protest.
