Demonstrators burn tires, block road near Sderot in protest of Gaza ceasefire

About 20 people demonstrate at the entrance to the southern city of Sderot in protest of the ceasefire with terror groups in the Gaza Strip, police says.

The demonstrators, residents of communities near Gaza that have been most affected by Hamas’s barrage of rockets this week, burn tires and block the Route 34 road between the junctions of Sha’ar Hanegev and Nir Am.

Police urge driver to use alternative routes.

There has been widespread criticism of the truce in Israel, and Avigdor Liberman earlier today stepped down as defense minister in protest.
