Police and anti-government protesters continue to face off outside the Azrieli Towers in Tel Aviv, as police soak demonstrators with a water cannon.

The police also arrest Ayelet Metzger, the daughter-in-law of hostage Yoram Metzger, as protesters chant against the police, accusing them of acting at the behest of far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

Numerous arrests are made, and a bus is brought in to carry off detainees.

One protester is seen being loaded into an ambulance on a stretcher.
