Demonstrators sit across traffic lanes beneath an overpass, holding signs as police move through the nighttime crowd. MIRROR NOW's footage from near Bnei Brak shows a protest against military conscription turning into repeated confrontations on the roadway.

The broadcaster reports that hundreds of ultra-Orthodox Jews blocked the highway following the arrest of a religious student, with many protesters detained. Bnei Brak, just east of Tel Aviv, is a major center of Haredi, or ultra-Orthodox, Judaism.

The upload is raw news footage rather than a studio explanation of the dispute. Officers pull and drag seated demonstrators across the asphalt. Emergency responders tend to an injured protester, who is later placed on a stretcher and carried toward an ambulance. An officer orders the crowd to clear the road through a megaphone; mounted police then ride into groups to disperse them.

The video drew about 31,000 views in its first sixteen hours, an unusually fast start for a regular MIRROR NOW upload. Its later scenes return to protesters holding hands in lines across the street, marching, dancing and chanting.
