Infrastructure Work During Rosh Hashanah Sparks Outrage in Haredi Neighborhood
Infrastructure work conducted in a Haredi neighborhood in Kiryat Gat during Rosh Hashanah has ignited public anger. The Ministry of Construction and Housing stated that work on Shabbat and holidays is not permitted and that the matter is being investigated with the responsible company.
Despite the controversy, most Haredi Knesset members have remained silent on the issue. Only one Haredi lawmaker has publicly responded, condemning the work as "very serious and regrettable."
The incident has drawn criticism and condemnation, with many questioning the timing and appropriateness of such construction during a major Jewish holiday.
