A group of left-wing anarchists blocked traffic on Highway 70 near Nahariya, at the turnoff for Kibbutz Kabri, on October 3, 2026. Police did not intervene to clear the intersection, leading to frustration among drivers stuck in the resulting traffic jam. One motorist exited his vehicle, seized a flag from a protester, and began pushing the activists blocking the road. The demonstrators were forced to retreat from the intersection they had occupied, but the agitated driver continued his actions and had to be restrained. According to police reports, the incident was not officially recorded, and the conflict apparently resolved itself without law enforcement intervention.
