The Israel Police say that eight protesters have been arrested for “disturbing public order” at the Ra’anana junction.
Police say that protesters were given several warnings to clear out of the road and stop blocking traffic, and eight who ignored the directive were detained, allowing normal traffic to resume.
Protests have intensified tonight following a speech by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which he lashed out at the opposition and vowed to push ahead with the judicial overhaul.
