Police warn of disruptions on major roads in the Bnei Brak area in central Israel ahead of a Haredi protest.
The disruptions are expected to affect Route 4 between the Aluf Sade and Em Hamoshavot interchanges, along Bnei Brak’s eastern border, police say.
Police say they are also preparing for possible obstructions on Jabotinsky Road, a main traffic artery that connects Petach Tikva to Tel Aviv via Bnei Brak.
The public is advised to take alternate routes and check for updates.
The extremist Haredi Jerusalem Faction announced that it would rally in Bnei Brak this afternoon over the arrest of a yeshiva student yesterday for failing to enlist to the military. The rally is expected to begin at 5 p.m.
