An avreich, Reb Moshe Mordechai Duvdevani, was arrested by traffic police at a gas station on Highway 6 on Tuesday.

Duvdevani, 25, is a resident of Elad, the father of two children, and a Rebbe in a Talmud Torah.

A spontaneous protest involving several avreichim and bochurim developed on Highway 6 after news of the arrest spread. After Duvdevani was transferred to military police custody, the demonstration ended, and traffic in the area returned to normal.

Duvdevani and his family are receiving legal guidance and support from the Notnim Gav organization.
