Dozens of young men and women from the Jerusalem faction blocked the Shilat intersection near Modi'in on Monday afternoon, causing traffic congestion on Highway 443, in protest of the arrest of three draft refusers, who are being held in Prison 4 in Tzirifin.
Police forces - including Border Police officers - forcibly removed the protesters from the road, and traffic returned to normal.
At the same time, dozens of protesters holding signs attempted to block the Geha Road at the entrance to the city of Bnei Brak - creating heavy traffic jams.
