Four protesters detained while trying to block Ayalon Highway

Police say some 50 protesters are trying to block the Ayalon Highway amid tonight’s demonstration against the government’s judicial overhaul.

The highway is closed by police in both directions as officers work to disperse the protesters, a police spokesperson says.

Two people have been detained while trying to block the northbound Ayalon Highway, and another two on Yigal Alon street, near the entrance to the highway, police say.
