Israel Police shut down Highway 4 south of Ramat Gan ahead of haredi (ultra-Orthodox) draft protests on Thursday.
Police blocked off the area from Shiva Interchange to Mosavim.
This comes after the Knesset advanced a bill to give draft evaders the same rights as IDF soldiers.
The Israel Airports Authority warned on Thursday that protests near Ben-Gurion Airport are expected to cause traffic congestion and delays, and recommended that passengers and airport staff use the train to reach the airport.
According to a statement posted on X/Twitter, the Airport Authority said it is “prepared to maintain the operational continuity of Ben-Gurion Airport and the continuation of regular aviation activity,” adding that operations are expected to continue as scheduled.
This is a developing story.
