01 · THE DISPATCH

Israeli police are attempting to clear protesters blocking Highway 6, with confrontations reported at the scene, according to Israeli media. The disruption is part of ongoing Haredi protests against the arrest of draft dodgers at a military prison facility. As The Zioneer reported at 18:17, violent confrontations had already erupted between drivers and Haredi road-blockers on the same highway earlier today. At 18:29, the desk reported an incident where a female driver exited her vehicle and attacked protesters with an iron bar, sparking a separate brawl. The current police operation appears to aim at restoring traffic flow on one of Israel's main north-south arteries. No immediate reports on injuries or arrests have been published.
