Additional rallies, some with hundreds of participants, are taking place at other areas around the country, mainly at bridges and intersections. Around 300 demonstrators gathered at Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea.
Police detained one man for throwing an egg at protesters in Eilat.
The protesters call for Netanyahu’s resignation due to his corruption trial, and lambaste his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the ensuing economic fallout. The largest protests take place on Saturday nights, and the weekly demonstrations have been ongoing for the past 19 weeks.
