A wave of road closures is expected later today as police gear up for protests by ultra-Orthodox groups over the detention of draft evaders. Authorities are assessing the possibility of blocking major traffic arteries in the Bnei Brak area, including parts of Route 4 and Jabotinsky Street, both critical corridors during the afternoon commute.
The demonstrations are slated to begin at 4 p.m., organized by the hardline Jerusalem Faction, which is reportedly concealing the exact protest locations from police. In the hours leading up to the rally, officers briefly shut down a section of Route 4 near Ashdod before reopening it, underscoring concerns over sudden disruptions.
