Trains running to Ben Gurion Airport are packed, as anti-judicial reform protesters stream there for a mass demonstration.

Citing the crowd size, currently in the thousands, Central District Police Commander Avi Bitton says the force has now designated an area at Terminal 3 for the protest because the initial site at Terminal 1 isn’t large enough.
