Drivers traveling on the Ayalon Highway on Saturday witnessed an unusual sight: two horses galloping along the busy thoroughfare in broad daylight. Traffic cameras operated by Netivei Ayalon captured one of the horses running along the side of the road at around 4:00 p.m.

The horses were seen on camera moving north from the area of south Tel Aviv. They were caught by Netivei Ayalon patrol teams near the Arlozorov Interchange and taken to a safe location. No accident occurred and no harm was caused to the horses or to drivers on the road.
It appears the horses had escaped from their owner, who drove after them in an attempt to catch them, unsuccessfully. The horses were later returned to their owner, who was taken in by police for questioning.
