Video footage obtained by journalist Eli Hirschman, published Wednesday evening, shows Haredi protesters and motorists clashing in the middle of a road, with shoving and punches thrown. The confrontation occurred during a protest against the arrest of military draft evaders, part of a broader wave of demonstrations that has spread across multiple highways and cities in recent days.
As The Zioneer has reported, similar violent confrontations unfolded on Highway 4 and Highway 6 on June 11, as drivers attacked protesters and, in one instance, a female driver brandished a sharp object at demonstrators. The footage comes a day after police reported traffic jams caused by protest convoys on Highways 1 and 6 were being managed by authorities.
No injuries have been reported in the latest incident, and police have not yet commented on whether arrests were made. The number of protesters and the precise location remain unspecified in the source material.
