Traffic jam protest blocks Route 4 near Bnei Brak

By כיכר השבת
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Dozens of protesters blocked Route 4 near Bnei Brak during peak traffic hours on June 17, 2026, in a protest tied to arrests of Torah students. The brief report says the action took place “at the height of the congestion,” but gives no additional details about the demonstrators’ demands, how long the road was closed, or whether police intervened.

The blockade affected a major route near Bnei Brak, one of the busiest commuting areas in central Israel. The article identifies the protest as connected to the issue of arrests of religious students, but does not say how many people were detained or describe any clashes, injuries, or disruptions beyond the closure itself.
