16 detained for breaking into TV studios during protest against finance minister
Police detain 16 demonstrators breaking into the television studios in Neve Elan during a protest against Finance Minister Israel Katz.
Police say the 16 are suspected of disturbing public order.
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the studio to protest against Katz as he arrived for an interview with Channel 12 news.
The demonstration was made up of social workers, who earlier this week announced a general strike after talks with the government failed to produce a change in their working conditions.
