Haredis cause traffic jam on 4th highway for sake of anti-military mindset
Authorities said Thursday that an estimated 600 haredi demonstrators blocked highway 4 to protest the imprisonment of ultra-Orthodox youth for failing to enlist in compulsory military service.When are the authorities going to work on arresting the ringleaders, and even freezing their bank accounts? They're nothing but a worthless bunch of hooligans, as a MK described them, and the leaders orchestrating these disruptions have to be brought down one way or another.
At least seven of the protestors were taken into custody following the demonstration, police added.
Authorities said that the rest of the participants were bused back to their neighborhoods, with traffic flow returning to normal. [...]
The Jerusalem Faction has been instructing its yeshiva students not to cooperate with the IDF for several years, and more and more men associated with it have been arrested in recent months, often in demonstrations against haredi enlistment.
Last week, nine men associated with the group were indicted for disturbing the public order, attacking police, and other misdemeanors during such demonstrations, the latest of nearly 70 such indictments filed in 2017.
