Ultra orthodox Jewish settlers in Jerusalem are currently blocking Highway 4 in the Bar Ilan area in protest against the conscription law

Reports of heavy clashes between police and Orthodox Jews protesting the Netanyahu plans to include them in the national defence initiative respite their exemption from military service to help with massive labor shortage in the country.

Arab palestinians are also going to be called into the service but not as active military.
