There is a traffic congestion on a number of streets in Bnei Brak, due to a demonstration at the intersection of Jabotinsky and Hashomer Streets by extremists from the haredi-religious Peleg Yerushalmi (Jerusalem Faction) against the military draft for yeshiva students and the arrest of one such student for not reporting to his induction office.
Trouble spots are on eastbound Jabotinsky starting at Ben-Gurion, on the westbound Hayetzira Highway in Petach Tikva, the exit to Jabotinsky Street from Bnei Brak and on Hahalutzim Street from Abarbanel Street to Jabotinsky.
