Police close Route 443 into Jerusalem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRoute 443, the major northwestern highway into Jerusalem, has been closed by police.
The closure affects much of the highway’s length, from the Ben Shemen Interchange to the Pisgat Ze’ev Junction in northern Jerusalem.
The news leads Army Radio morning show host Razi Barka’i to quip in an interview with a police spokesman, “You’re returning us to ’48, with Jerusalem under siege.”
“Razi, you have to understand that our job is to reduce damage as much as possible,” the police officer replies diplomatically.
