Ultra-Orthodox activists plan to block major highways across Israel starting at 4 p.m. today in opposition to the mandatory IDF draft and recent arrests of draft evaders. Vehicle convoys are set to leave from at least 19 cities, according to reports. The demonstrations target implementation of the draft law and the detention of men accused of draft dodging.
Activists intend to stage protests at key transportation sites nationwide. Police have stated they are preparing for significant traffic disruptions. A demonstration outside the Abu Kabir detention facility in Tel Aviv occurred on June 10, 2026, following the arrest of protesters who had gathered outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg.
The protests come as authorities continue to enforce the military draft among the ultra-Orthodox community.
