Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice arrest 10 people at the anti-government protest in Jerusalem, says police commander Ofer Shomer, as the demonstration draws to a close.
Most of the arrests came as a group of protesters attempted to march toward Agron and King George Streets, which police said was an illegal act.
Others are arrested while refusing to leave the scene of the protest in Paris Square. Shomer says they refused to leave after the police declared the gathering illegal.
Two people were arrested on suspicion of assaulting officers.
The streets around the square are reopened for traffic.
