A convoy of dozens of vehicles is traveling from Beit Shemesh to Jerusalem on Thursday evening in protest of the arrests of 63 suspects connected to the disturbance outside Supreme Court Justice Noam Solberg's home, according to journalist Eli Hirschman. Hirschman reports that some participants in the convoy have themselves been arrested and jailed, marking an escalation in the ongoing protest actions.
The story first emerged with reports of a "convoy of appreciation" for 64 individuals involved in the disturbance, which turned violent two weeks ago and led to mass detentions. By 17:26 Jerusalem, multiple reports clarified the number to 63 suspects and reframed the event as a protest convoy. The Zioneer published a bulletin at 18:44 Jerusalem confirming the convoy was en route and noting new arrests among participants.
The disturbance at Justice Solberg's home occurred two weeks ago, with protests escalating into violence that resulted in the detention of dozens of individuals. The suspects were recently released from custody, and the convoy appears to be a show of solidarity and protest against the arrests.
It remains unclear how many participants have been arrested, the current status of the convoy, and whether the reported arrests occurred during the convoy's departure or en route. The exact number of detainees from the original disturbance also varies between 63 and 64 in the reports.
