Israel Police Commissioner Danny Levi has arrived at the scene of a major police deployment near his home in Zichron Yaakov, as Haredi protesters reportedly approach the area, according to N12. District Commander Nitzav Yehiel Bohadana was also present alongside the commissioner.
Tuesday night saw a major police deployment near the home of Police Commissioner Danny Levi in Zichron Yaakov, amid reports that Haredi protesters were approaching the area. The commissioner himself arrived at the scene alongside District Commander Nitzav Yehiel Bohadana to oversee operations, according to N12.
This deployment comes after earlier reports that minibuses carrying Haredi protesters were blocked by police en route to the commissioner's home. As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening, police stopped several vehicles and ordered the groups to return to the Gush Dan area.
Additional context from The Zioneer's prior coverage notes that Commissioner Levi has been personally involved in operational deployments in recent days, including roadblocks near Prison 10 in Beit Lid, and that tensions between police and Haredi communities over draft enforcement have been escalating. The current incident marks the commissioner's direct presence at what appears to be a growing security challenge at his own residence.
