“The lines are being stretched in areas not overwhelmingly ultra-Orthodox. The secular residents of Kiryat Yovel claim the new metal poles around the neighborhood are an eyesore and a harbinger of a Haredi ‘takeover’ of their neighborhood.

Either way, secular activists have snipped the wires on several occasions in recent months, causing dismay among thousands of devout Jews unwittingly tripped into mass desecration of Shabbat.” more@LAtimes
