Hundreds of Peleg Yerushalmi protesters launched a series of coordinated demonstrations across Israel, blocking major traffic arteries on Wednesday afternoon.
The protests come in response to a wave of arrests of Yeshiva students who refused to appear at IDF draft offices, in accordance with the directives of Gedolei Yisroel. Demonstrators converged on key junctions near Prison 10, where the bochurim and avreichim are being held.
According to the Peleg, today marks the first stage of an “uncompromising battle” against what they call the government’s “ruthless persecution of bnei Torah.” In a statement from the Vaad L’Hatzolas Olam HaTorah, organizers declared:
“The authorities are crossing every red line, throwing lomdei Torah into military prison simply for learning Torah. Bnei Torah are responding with a storm of protest. The government declared war on lomdei Torah – and war is what they will receive.”
HIGHWAY 2: Clashes broke out as Peleg Yerushalmi protesters blocked the highway, leading angry drivers to exit their vehicles and attempt to forcibly remove the demonstrators in order to reopen the road.
As part of the demonstrations, highways 2, 4, and 6 were brought to a standstill. Police reported severe disruptions:
Highway 2 near Netanya was blocked in both directions.
Highway 4 at the Sharon Junction (Beit Lid) was completely shut down.
Highway 6 was blocked in both directions between Nitzanei Oz and Baka interchanges.
Highway 57, which connects to Route 4, was also shut in both directions.
In Bnei Brak, Zalman Shazar / Jabotinsky Street was blocked from Ben Gurion Junction through Geha, creating massive gridlock across the city.
SAKANOS NEFASHOS: Watch how Peleg Yerushalmi protesters shut down Highway 2 with speeding motorists.
Police issued a statement condemning the illegal demonstrations, noting that protesters spat at officers and shouted “Nazis” at them. One protester was arrested after spitting on a female officer. Police vowed not to allow any actions that endanger public safety or disrupt freedom of movement, though they stressed the right to protest “within the framework of the law.”
🔥 Water fight on Highway 2!
The National Traffic Police urged drivers to avoid the affected highways, use alternate routes, and follow officers’ instructions, warning of “very heavy congestion” in the central region.
DANGEROUS SITUATION: A Peleg Yerushalmi protester climbed onto the roof of a car on Highway 2 as the driver continued driving with him still on top.

I see a war, and the guys with black hats are losing.
Which Torah do they follow? Mine says Lo Signov. Gneivus Zman is Gneiva.
I used to live in that area for a bunch of years right off of Kvish 4 near Bnei Brak.
If some idiots tried blocking the road in front of me, I would definitely be helping those bystanders clear that road with whatever it took.
Good for those people who took matters into their own hands.
All of a sudden they have to go out and actually do something, learning Torah by itself doesn’t protect you from the draft, but if it takes you from missiles an enemy combatants
Why do they need to go out into the streets? Don’t they believe that Torah protects?
They seem to have a lot of time to protest.
People like this and their supporters are NOT Lomdei Torah, they are Mechalleli Shamayim their Torah is worthless. It’s shocking to me how “Krum” they are and how righteous they “think” they are. Feh!
Something wrong with these boys, wanting to get Shlepped by a women while their legs are up, especially Befarhesia. What’s with Tznious. In the army you don’t have this kind of Pritzus.
Although I understand, empathize with, relate to and believe in the Charedi cause and their arguments…
“Charedi Protests Do More Harm Than Good”
Change My Mind.

Other than the wicked Zionists’ increased war on the Torah and Judaism and the Jews.
BLM should take notes
ה’ עמכם גבורי החיל
the one with the protestor on top of the car should have been brought straight to the army. serves him right. the ones when they laid down in front of bus they should have been driven right over. who says protesting is more important if you want to be useful daven dont protest.
if you think about it peleg and pig have the first same and last letter and pelegs are animals. just a though
Mass protests and strikes erupted across Israel as citizens, led by families of hostages, took to the streets demanding a hostage deal and an end to the war in Gaza.
In Tel Aviv, thousands marched with placards and Israeli flags, blocking roads and chanting slogans. In Jerusalem, a small group set fire to debris on a roadway, briefly halting traffic before it was cleared. Drone footage captured demonstrators blocking a key highway into Jerusalem.
#IsraelProtests #HostageDealNow #DayOfDisruption #GazaWar #IsraelStrike #TelAvivProtest #JerusalemProtest #EndTheWar #HostagesInGaza #GazaCrisis #IsraelNews #DroneFootage #ProtestFootage #CeasefireNow #MiddleEastNews
Just saying
The non-religious closed down the country roads and their stupid protest against the Israeli government to release the hostages
The geniuses don’t seem to realize that it’s hamas holding the hostages not the Israeli government
Let them protest in Gaza
But somehow this website has no problem with those protests
Only people protesting against torah scholars I being conscripted into the army
These are the real warriors of our nation, not IDF
