Overnight Thursday, protesters gathered at the Maccabim Crossing after a driver from Modi'in Illit in his 20s was issued a traffic ticket for operating a vehicle without a valid inspection (no test). According to reports from Channel 12, the crowd damaged a police vehicle and slashed its tires. Police and IDF forces are currently operating at the scene to restore order.
This protest follows a similar incident at the same crossing earlier tonight, as The Zioneer reported at 02:16 Jerusalem, when hundreds of Haredi protesters slashed police car tires after a traffic ticket. The current event appears to be a continuation of that same unrest, with the crossing remaining a focal point. The number of protesters and any arrests have not yet been confirmed.
