Dozens of secular Israelis are protesting and blocking traffic in Bnei Brak, calling for equal conscription for all and demonstrating against recent traffic disruptions caused by ultra-Orthodox protesters. The ‘Mothers at the Front’ movement, whose members include mothers of soldiers and some of whom are protesting at the scene, stated: ‘Our sons did not go to defend a country that protects the right of the ultra-Orthodox to be draft dodgers. We came here today to say enough.’
