They claim that opening the lot on Saturdays - when observant Jews are banned from driving - desecrates the Jewish day of rest. Religious Jews are forbidden to work on the Sabbath which lasts from sundown Friday until Saturday night. Protesters scuffled with the Israeli police during the demonstration. Elsewhere in Jerusalem around 100 Ultra-Orthodox Jews demonstrated outside a new Intel plant in protest against it operating on the Jewish Sabbath. The Intel facility is located alongside many other high-tech companies in Jerusalem's Har Hotzvim industrial zone, which is close to two religious neighbourhoods. Most business close during that time and those that do open are located away from religious neighbourhoods to avoid conflict. Intel is located near a religious area. The protests began two weeks ago when the US computer chip manufacturer opened the new plant. The weekly Saturday protests often turn violent, with protesters assaulting police and motorists and blocking roads with burning rubbish.
