The Israel Police's Jerusalem District has finalized its preparations for the annual commemoration of Rachel's Tomb, which is taking place today, Wednesday, and tomorrow, Thursday, near the tomb itself. A comprehensive operational plan, approved by Jerusalem District Commander Superintendent Avshalom Peled, has been developed to ensure the event's safety, protect participants and the public, and maintain order. Police officers, Border Police officers, and volunteers will be deployed at activity sites and nearby routes to secure the event, direct traffic, and provide operational responses as needed, while minimizing disruption to daily life.
Traffic arrangements and road closures will be in effect. Specific closures include the right lane of the entrance from Begin to the Rosemary Junction, a right turn from Route 60, traffic from Har Choma on Ma'aleh Darga, the entrance road to Rachel's Tomb from Rosemary Junction, and streets David Ayalon east and west of the Teddy complex. These closures will be in place on Wednesday from 3:00 PM to 2:00 AM and on Thursday from 12:00 PM to midnight.
To facilitate access, a shuttle service will operate between the Teddy Stadium area and the commemoration site. The public is advised to park at the stadium and use the shuttle. Due to expected traffic congestion, drivers are urged to avoid private vehicles in the closed areas, use alternative routes, stay updated via Waze, and follow the instructions of police and ushers on site.
