Ramat Gan residents livid over lodging of soldiers in predominantly elderly neighborhood

Dozens of Ramat Gan residents have issued a call to the town’s mayor, Carmel Shama, demanding that he change the location of a lodging center for soldiers enforcing the lockdown in the nearby ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak, Channel 12 reports.

Shama announced Friday that the dorm would be located in a neighborhood that is home largely to elderly residents of Ramat Gan. Locals have responded to the post, saying Shama is endangering those most susceptible to falling ill from coronavirus.
