The protest group 'Mothers on the Frontline' threatened Thursday morning to block access to Bnei Brak and other Haredi cities, warning 'blockades will be met with blockades.' The threat responds to a planned Haredi vehicle convoy protest later today.
The 'Mothers on the Frontline' organization, a protest group with a focus on military service equality, issued a statement Thursday morning threatening to block entrances to Bnei Brak and other predominantly Haredi cities. The group's Hebrew-language statement read: 'Blockades will be met with blockades.' This threat is a direct response to a planned Haredi vehicle convoy protest scheduled for later today, which itself protests IDF draft enforcement. As The Zioneer previously reported, Haredi protest organizers had earlier threatened to block roads if police disrupted their convoys. The dynamic reflects escalating tensions between pro-conscription and anti-conscription protest groups in Israel.
