Members of the Peleg Yerushalmi faction, affiliated with the community of Rav Tzvi Friedman, are demonstrating Monday on Route 4 near Bnei Brak, causing severe traffic congestion throughout the area.

Israel Police stated that the demonstration has been declared illegal, as protesters are blocking the roadway and creating significant disruptions to traffic. Large police forces are on the scene working to restore order and redirect drivers to alternate routes.

According to police updates, Route 4 has been completely closed to traffic in both directions from the Aluf Sadeh Interchange to the Em HaMoshavos Interchange. In addition, traffic traveling southbound from Em HaMoshavos is being diverted toward Petach Tikva. Jabotinsky Street in Bnei Brak has also been closed in the direction of Petach Tikva. Officers from the National Traffic Police are operating at the scene and adjusting traffic flow as developments unfold.

Police are urging the public to avoid the area, use alternative routes, and stay updated through traffic reports. Authorities reiterated that while the right to protest is recognized in a democratic state, Israel Police will not tolerate disturbances of public order, road blockages, or any actions that endanger public safety or restrict freedom of movement.

🚨Meanwhile, Israel Police were seen violently shoving and dragging Chareidi women near Bnei Brak as she tries crossing a street during ther Peleg Yerushalmi protest.

Two years ago police violently beat a down syndrome Chareidi child in Yerushalyim. No one was ever held accountable.
