Thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews have taken to the streets in protests against military conscription, blocking roads and disrupting train services nationwide. Demonstrators clashed with police in several cities, including Beit Shemesh and Jerusalem, leading to violent confrontations. The protests were ignited by the arrests of draft dodgers, prompting Haredi leaders to call for mass demonstrations. The situation escalated as protesters besieged police stations and disrupted traffic, while police responded with measures to contain the unrest. Amid the turmoil, some Haredi lawmakers have urged their constituents to refuse cooperation with the Israeli police, intensifying the ongoing conflict over military service among the ultra-Orthodox community.
