ILIn Bnei Brak, a city in Israel known for its large Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) population, residents of a secular neighborhood reported that Haredim blocked access to their area with barricades ahead of the Sabbath. This action is part of a broader pattern where Haredi communities implement measures to enforce religious observance, such as restricting traffic and commercial activity during the Sabbath. A volunteer police officer reportedly removed dumpsters placed in the middle of the street by the Haredim. Local residents claim the municipality was involved in setting up the barricades, though this has not been officially confirmed. Such incidents highlight tensions between different religious groups in Israeli society.
