In four locations across the country: Due to the police's intention to hand over 19 of the suspects arrested after the break-in to the yard of Supreme Court Justice Noam Solberg's house in the town of Alon Shvut to the military police, after it turned out that they were deserters, the Jerusalem Faction is holding stormy protests at the extradition centers.

On the other hand, the photographer for "Hapeleg", a resident of Beit Shemesh who was arrested near the "Tunnel Checkpoint" because he documented the break-in to the judge's yard - was released from the "Russian Compound", directly into the hands of the protesters.

The statement from 'Hapeleg' said: "The extradition process to the military authorities of the yeshiva students who were released today from their detention as part of the Solberg events has begun. In the last few minutes, 5 of the yeshiva students have made contact with their families from Prison 10.".

""Starting at this stage, we are preparing for the possibility of a significant and dramatic escalation in the protests starting tomorrow.".

A statement from the 'Urdu Community' stated: "By order of the members of the Badatz of the Haredi Community, headed by the Grand Rabbi
"Following the authorities' attempt to extradite dozens of young men and women to military prison, each and every one of us has the duty to go out in protest in a boycott war with dedication at the gates of various prisons across the country, to stop the corruptor.".

According to 'Eda', following the order, "all kollels of the Haredi Eda have closed in the last hour and are joining the protest.".

In the Jerusalem area, protests began in the Russian Compound, as well as in Bnei Brak and Abu Kabir. In the Beit Shemesh and southern areas, ultra-Orthodox Jews demonstrated in front of Nitzan Prison in Ramla, while in the Sharon area, protests were recorded at Hadarim Prison and on Highway 4, on the section between Raanana and Netanya.

The "Flag" lines called on the public to come to Abu Kabir with water and equipment for an extended stay.

The police spokeswoman said that protests are taking place in several locations in Jerusalem - including: Russian Compound, Prophets Street and Haim Bar-Lev Boulevard. The protests turned into riots, including blockages of traffic routes and vehicles. Rioters attacked police officers, threw objects and refused to obey the orders of the forces on site.

Police forces worked to clear the roads and repel rioters, using riot dispersal measures, including stun grenades and police officers. "The forces continue to operate at the scene with the aim of restoring order and keeping the roads open.".

During the activity, 3 rioters have been arrested so far for rioting and attacking police officers, and they will be taken for questioning.

At the same time, riots and clashes between protesters and police forces near Abu Kabir prison.

However, during the demonstration at Abu Kabir prison, a prisoner who was arrested during the break-in at Judge Solberg's courthouse about a week ago was released. Upon his release, the protesters there lifted him onto their shoulders and began singing and dancing.

The police said after the protesters declared "He will return to the Talmud": The Israel Police acted as part of an illegal demonstration that took place near the Abu Kabir detention center, during which protesters blocked the road and clashed with the police. At the same time, a police officer declared the demonstration illegal.
The axis is now open to traffic.
