Anti-Netanyahu protester pepper-sprayed by passerby in Ramat Gan
An anti-Netanyahu protester in the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan says he was doused with pepper spray by a man on a scooter.
The protester received medical attention at the scene and police opened an investigation.
Separately, around 400 protesters march from Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square northward on Ibn Gbriol street. Another 100 set out from the city’s Habima Square.
Estimates put the number of demonstrators in Jerusalem’s Paris Square, near the Prime Minister’s Residence, at several thousand.
Police call on the Jerusalem protesters to stop making noise.
