A newly opened Chabad House in Hiriketiya, southern Sri Lanka, has faced protests, harassment and alleged threats from some local residents. A demonstration led by Buddhist monks called on authorities to investigate whether the site has the required permits and to consider closure if it is found to be operating illegally. The Chabad House was established to serve Israeli and Jewish tourists visiting the popular coastal area.
