Police Brace for Haredi Protests, Route 4 Closed

Israel Police are preparing for major road closures, particularly on Highway 4 in both directions between the Aluf Sadeh and Em HaMoshavot interchanges. Heavy congestion and potential sudden blockages are also anticipated on Jabotinsky Road, a vital route connecting Petah Tikva, Ramat Gan, and Tel Aviv. The closures during peak afternoon hours are expected to impact hundreds of thousands of drivers and public transport users.

Dan Region police officers will be deployed in reinforced units along key routes and intersections to direct traffic and maintain public order. Police authorities emphasized that they will permit legal protests but will enforce strict measures against unauthorized road blockades, public endangerment, or illegal disturbances. Drivers are advised to avoid the affected areas and use alternative routes.
