Jerusalem Faction Protests Expected to Cause Major Traffic Jams in Bnei Brak

Israeli police have issued a special preparedness notice ahead of a protest by members of the "Jerusalem Faction" scheduled for today, starting at 3:00 PM in the Bnei Brak area. The demonstration is in response to the arrest of yeshiva students. As part of security and traffic preparations, police anticipate significant changes to traffic arrangements, road closures, and heavy congestion on Highway 4 between the Aluf Sadeh and Im HaMoshavot interchanges in both directions. Unusual traffic jams and blockages are also expected on the main Jabotinsky axis, which runs through Bnei Brak. Dan Region police officers will be deployed in reinforced units along key routes and intersections to direct traffic, alleviate congestion, and maintain public order amidst the anticipated road closures. Police are advising drivers to completely avoid these areas, stay updated on traffic reports, and use alternative routes. The police emphasized that they view the right to protest as a cornerstone of a democratic state and will permit it legally, but will not tolerate disturbances, unauthorized road blockages, or behavior that endangers public safety.
