Seven people have been arrested at an anti-government protest in Tel Aviv for trying to block roads, according to the police.
Protesters have succeeded in shutting down the Begin thoroughfare heading south, and appear to be heading to the Ayalon Highway in an attempt to shut that down as well.

There are no mounted police on patrol this week after protesters were knocked down last week.
Police instead have brought about a dozen 4×4 vehicles that are parked together at the center of Democracy Square, and are also patrolling on Segways.
