IDF soldiers and haredi (ultra-Orthodox) protesters clashed outside of Military\u00a0Prison 10 in Beit Lid on Monday morning, demonstrating in support of arrested draft dodgers<\/a> being held in the prison and the IDF’s haredi draft law.<\/p>\n

According to footage circulating on social media, protesters swarmed the prison’s entrance and checkpoints, shouting and pushing aside the metal barricades and soldiers attempting to maintain order.<\/p>\n

“Release [Supreme Court Deputy President Justice Noam] Sohlberg’s hostages and the rest of the haredim from military prison,” read a sign held by one of the protesters.<\/p>\n

Sohlberg has become a focal point of such protests following his order to increase arrests of draft evaders, the peak of which took place on June 3, when a haredi riot broke out outside of his home.<\/p>\n

The extremist protesters caused significant property damage by smashing windows, damaging his car, and attempting to break into Sohlberg’s<\/a> house before attempting to flee the scene. Cards with an Israeli flag with a swastika were afterward found scattered in and around the home.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that the Gur Hasidim sect is planning a much larger demonstration for Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Ynet,\u00a0a convoy is expected to depart from various points across the country and head towards Military\u00a0Prison 10, slowing traffic and blocking roads.<\/p>\n

The convoy is reportedly scheduled to take place between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., in coordination with the Israel Police<\/a>, unlike previous haredi protests that have caused massive traffic jams.<\/p>\n

These protests come nearly a week after some 10,000 haredi draft evaders<\/a> reportedly blocked eastbound Highway 57 at the Beit Lid-Kfar Yonah intersection.<\/p>\n

The protests stalled traffic in the Sharon region for hours and led the Emek Hefer Regional Council to cancel all after-school activities.<\/p>\n

Some of the protesters congregated outside of Military Prison 10, where some haredi protesters who attacked Sohlberg’s house are being held. MK Yitzhak Goldknopf was in attendance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"IDF soldiers and haredi (ultra-Orthodox) protesters clashed outside of Military\u00a0Prison 10 in Beit Lid on Monday morning, demonstrating…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":884736,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[46359,235097,99,1802,50,344892,7237,138137,256913],"class_list":["post-884735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-haredi","tag-haredi-protests","tag-israel","tag-military","tag-news","tag-noam-sohlberg","tag-protests","tag-ultra-orthodox","tag-ultra-orthodox-draft"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116793500658738318","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/884735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=884735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/884735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/884736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=884735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=884735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=884735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
