Heavy traffic congestion is reported on Highway 1 Wednesday evening due to ongoing protest convoys, according to journalist Eli Hirschman. The unrest is part of a series of anti-government demonstrations that have seen convoys blocking major roads across Israel today.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, earlier convoys caused slowdowns on the Ayalon Highway and Route 1 toward Tel Aviv, and blocked traffic near the Latrun area, with some participants leaving their vehicles. The current congestion continues this pattern of disruption.
The demonstrations are part of a broader wave of anti-government protests that have resumed across at least 19 cities. Police presence at the scene has not been detailed in current reports.
