A demonstration against Jerusalem’s light rail expansion escalated Thursday night as protesters reportedly tore down fences and attempted to enter the construction site.

Tensions rise between secular and haredi residents in Bnei Brak as police say, "Secular people also intentionally provoke haredim, drive recklessly, and do burnouts."
