Jerusalem Haredi protest light rail vandalism
Wide protests took place on Bar Ilan Street in occupied Jerusalem in solidarity with opponents of the light rail construction project. Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox extremists participated in riots that included tearing down site fences, setting fire to cardboard materials, and attempting to storm the site. The protests were driven by religious and social concerns related to increased non-Haredi presence in the areas they control. These demonstrations have occurred repeatedly over the past several months, with police sometimes intervening to disperse the crowds and arrest some protesters. Tensions have risen, focusing on the perceived risks of a growing non-Haredi population and its impact on the religious and social lifestyle in the region.
