An angry driver just drove through a crowd of Yeshiva Bochurim who are protesting the IDF draft.

At this hour, protests by Peleg Yerushalmi Faction are taking place near Bnei Brak, with demonstrators blocking Route 4 as well as Jabotinsky Street. The road closures are causing severe traffic disruptions throughout the area, with heavy congestion reported on the main arteries leading into the city.

During the demonstration, which is being organized by members of the extremist “Ratzfanik” faction, a serious and unusual incident occurred on Jabotinsky Street when a vehicle rammed through a crowd of several protesters and fled the scene. Police forces were rushed to the area, launched an extensive search for the fleeing driver, and opened an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Magen David Adom paramedics provided medical treatment to a 16-year-old boy with injuries to his abdomen, leg, and groin. He is in moderate condition and will continue to receive treatment at the Nahariya Hospital.

Emergency Services Paramedics Yakov Tarani and Menachem Shtern: “When we arrived at the scene of the traffic accident, we found a young man with injuries to his abdomen, leg, and groin after being hit by a vehicle during a protest taking place in the area. Together with Magen David Adom paramedics, we provided him with initial medical treatment, including stabilization and bandaging, and he is in moderate condition and will continue to receive treatment in the trauma ward at the Nahariya Hospital.”

Meanwhile, police continue efforts to clear the roadblocks, redirect traffic to alternate routes, and maintain public order. Law enforcement officials reiterated that violations of freedom of movement and any endangerment to human life will not be tolerated. In light of the protests, the public is urged to avoid the Bnei Brak area, use alternative routes, and stay updated on traffic conditions.
