Clashes erupt between protesters and cops in Tel Aviv following a rally for a hostage deal and against the government.
Two demonstrators are arrested, and Natalie Atedgi, the sister of hostage Matan Zangauker, is injured and taken to a hospital after being hit by a mounted police officer on Begin Road.
Her mother, Einav Zangauker, said earlier this evening that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is murdering the hostages” by allegedly sabotaging a deal with Hamas.
Labor MKs Naama Lazimi and Gilad Kariv are on Begin Road, attempting to protect the protesters and arguing that it is illegal to use horse-mounted police in nonviolent protests.
