At least two people have been detained after anti-war protesters leaving a demonstration at Habima Square burned tires and blocked roads in two different places in Tel Aviv, according to Hebrew media reports and footage shared online.

Thick smoke could be seen near Begin Road and on King George Street before officers put out the flames.

Demonstrators also sit in the road to block traffic before being forcibly cleared by police.

The Protest Detainee Legal Support Front, which has confirmed only one arrest, publishes footage of police officers yanking a man by his shirt out of a crowd of protesters near Begin Road.
