Anti-government protesters block major Tel Aviv thoroughfare
Hundreds of anti-government protesters in central Tel Aviv are marching up Begin Street, blocking traffic while tooting horns and crying out chants against the government and for the release of hostages.
The march follows the end of a rally against the government, as protesters surround police barricades around so-called Democracy Square at the intersection of Begin and Kaplan Street, turning a main thoroughfare into a chaotic mess.
