Ultra-Orthodox Protesters Damage Jerusalem Light Rail Worksite
Dozens of ultra-Orthodox protesters arrived at the light rail construction site on Bar Ilan Street in Jerusalem and caused damage to infrastructure. The demonstrators are protesting the possibility that the rail line will run through their neighborhood, and are deliberately vandalizing the project’s facilities.
According to the report, this type of protest has already caused an estimated $400 million in damage. The article does not say whether anyone was detained or injured, and it does not provide details on repairs or on any further response from authorities.
The clash centers on long-running opposition from extremist Haredi groups to the light rail route in their area, with the latest incident adding to the cumulative cost of the disruptions.
