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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
