North faces haredi protest over Shabbat buses, anti-government protests to continue into night
According to Maariv, the areas expected to face protesters include Guma Junction, Kibbutz Eilon, Afula, Kabri, Nahariya, Tzemach, Rosh Pina, and Karmiel.
Haredi protesters blocked a road near Meron on Saturday, August 8, 2026, to protest public buses operating before the end of Shabbat. This marks the sixth consecutive week of such demonstrations, with civilians and secular counter-protesters attempting to clear the road. The Israel Police intervened to disperse the protest. Additionally, anti-government protests are scheduled for Saturday night across northern Israel in locations including Guma Junction, Afula, and Karmiel, with further demonstrations expected nationwide.
