Hundreds of passengers on a train from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv are forced to disembark at Ben Gurion Airport due to massive Haredi protests throughout central Israel.

The demonstrators have not only managed to bring road traffic to a standstill on three major highways, but are also blocking railways in Tel Aviv.

Many of the passengers are en route to major concerts scheduled for tonight in Tel Aviv, including by popular singer Omer Adam. A large crowd of passengers are seen flooding the airport’s bus terminal after coming up from the station.
