A protest convoy organized as part of the Haredi anti-draft-enforcement demonstrations reached Route 1 near the Latrun interchange Wednesday evening at about 18:55, blocking traffic in both directions. Reporter Dan Fisher (N12) reported that some participants exited their vehicles and are currently standing on the roadway.
The protest is the latest in a series of slow-roll convoys that began earlier Wednesday. Police have reported that approximately 1,000–1,200 vehicles are participating in convoys nationwide. Officers have warned that participants in some convoys are deviating from terms agreed in advance with organizers by leaving their vehicles and blocking roads.
Route 1, a major highway connecting Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, is experiencing significant congestion, with drivers advised to avoid the area. The event is ongoing; no injuries or police intervention have been reported at this location.
