Tank truck stuck on Route 1, road jammed
Route 1, the main artery connecting Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, is backed up with heavy traffic because an army truck for transporting tanks is stuck and blocking one of the lanes.
As an unintended consequence of the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, the truck is stalled on the highway and traffic police are working to move it and get it off the road. The police are asking drivers to take alternate routes.
It’s not clear whether the truck has a tank on it or not.
