The cabinet on Friday ordered a lockdown on the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Beit Shemesh "Bet" where there has been a spike in coronavirus infections in recent days.
The lockdown will start on Sunday at 6 a.m and run for at least 5 days until Friday at 6 a.m, the cabinet decided in a video conference meeting.
The decision comes after it authorized a significant easing of restrictions on the rest of the country earlier Friday morning.
The lockdown restrictions are similar to those imposed on the city of Bnei Brak and several Jerusalem neighborhoods in recent weeks, barring people from leaving. Those were lifted on Sunday.

THANKS SO MUCH, IT MEANS A LOT ESPECIALLY IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES!
Beit Shemesh Bet has seen several protests in recent days against government orders keeping synagogues and yeshiva study halls closed and police have broken up several illegal gatherings.
The Health Ministry said that during the lockdown the IDF’s Home Front Command would help ensure that residents had access to food and basic services.
Small segments of the ultra-Orthodox community have been resistant to adhering to government orders, particularly those shutting down synagogues and yeshivas.
