Internal Israeli disputes have increased on more than one level in parallel with the ongoing Israeli genocide against Gaza for more than five months now as it has failed to achieve its announced "war objectives."

Amid extreme clashes in positions and opinions regarding the administration of the war and negotiations surrounding the captives deal, Haredi Jews clashed with other Israeli settlers in refusal of the Israeli occupation's law of mandatory conscription with the IOF.

The Haredi Jews refuse to be recruited in the IOF on "biblical doctrinal" grounds which has prompted them to protest in occupied al-Quds under the slogan "We'd rather die than serve."

This evening, the protesting Israeli settlers closed down the light railway on Yafa Street, according to Israeli media. 

These demonstrations led to confrontations between the Haredi Jews and the occupation police, who announced that they were using force against the rioting Haredi demonstrators in al-Quds. The Israeli settlers called the Israeli occupation police "Nazis" and urged them to "go die in Gaza."

The internal clashes escalated when an Israeli settler ran over a Haredi Jew demonstrator, as reported by Israeli Channel 12. 

The Israeli "Mothers on the Front" movement stated, in response to the Haredi Jews demonstration, that anyone who does not want to serve in the IOF must "leave Israel." 

Israeli settlers protest to demand Haredim conscription

Large-scale demonstrations erupted in multiple occupied cities and settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories on March 16, calling for the imposition of compulsory military service on the Haredim, a prisoner exchange deal with the Palestinian Resistance, and calls for the resignation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the formation of a new government.

Israeli media reported that demonstrations kicked off on March 16 at the intersection of the "Ra'anana" settlement, north of "Tel Aviv", and at the Weizmann Institute of Science in the settlement of "Rehovot", calling for what they called "equality in bearing the burden of war" through the participation of the Haredi Jews in compulsory military service in the Israeli occupation forces.

Israeli media confirmed that protesters blocked the Ayalon Highway in central "Tel Aviv" in protest against the Israeli government, demanding its overthrow.

Protesters from the families of Israeli captives set fires in front of the Ministry of Security in "Tel Aviv" and threatened to "burn Israel if necessary," while the occupation police arrested settlers during the demonstration.

Thousands took to the streets in Kaplan and in the occupied city of Haifa, where hundreds of people marched and reached the Horev Center in the city in a demonstration calling for progress on a deal to release Israeli captives and for the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
