Police say five anti-government protesters were arrested for disturbing the peace in a demonstration at the Kfar Hayarok interchange, north of Tel Aviv.
An additional 12 people received tickets for disturbances or using their vehicles to block traffic. Police say the protest was illegal.
There were also minor confrontations between demonstrators and police at the Rokach/Namir interchange in north Tel Aviv.
Roads have been blocked throughout the day nationwide as part of a “day of disruption” on the nine-month anniversary of Hamas’s shock attack, with 120 hostages still held in Gaza. Protesters are calling for a hostage deal and elections.
The protests began this morning at 6:29 a.m., the exact time the devastating terror onslaught began on October 7.
The day will culminate with a mass protest outside military headquarters in Tel Aviv.
