A massive chain of vehicles has jammed up traffic in Jerusalem as thousands of Israelis took to the streets to protest the country's coronavirus restrictions, taking a note from the 'Freedom Convoy' demonstration organized in Canada's capital over ongoing vaccine requirements there.

Long lines of cars could be seen heading for Jerusalem on Monday, reportedly from cities across Israel, in footage circulating on social media. Like their Canadian trucker counterparts, protesters blared on their horns, hoisted banners, and chanted slogans against the Covid mandates, some even carrying Canada's national flag while doing so.
