Traffic heading north was blocked at the Aluf Sadeh interchange, while southbound traffic was halted at the Ramat Gan interchange.

In Jerusalem, demonstrators blocked the entrance to the city near the Chords Bridge, causing severe traffic disruptions and the suspension of light rail service. During the Jerusalem protest, a car accelerated into the crowd, lightly injuring a young Haredi man, and a truck was also filmed accelerating toward demonstrators.

Police Commissioner Daniel Levy ordered commanders to take decisive action against the riots, emphasizing that while protesting is a right, violating public order and damaging vehicles is not. Police worked to clear the roads and restore order, advising drivers to avoid the affected areas.
