Dozens of extremist ultra-Orthodox men blocked Bar Ilan Street in Jerusalem on Sunday to protest ongoing light rail construction. Police declared the gathering an illegal disturbance and called for the protesters to disperse. When the demonstrators refused to comply, police forces began to break up the protest.
The protesters are demonstrating against the light rail construction, which they claim violates religious laws due to work occurring on Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest. The Jerusalem light rail, known as the Red Line, is a major infrastructure project in the city. The protests have caused significant traffic disruptions in the area.
