Hundreds of residents of the south are in Tel Aviv this evening protesting years of insecurity in the shadow of Hamas rockets.

Protesters are blocking the major central Tel Aviv intersection in front of the Azrieli towers and mall. They are calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign, blasting “Code Red” rocket alert sirens and chanting “Tel Aviv wake up, the south is burning.”

Some of the protesters are scuffling with police, who are forming a human chain to prevent the protesters from walking onto the nearby Ayalon highway and bringing the main thoroughfare through Israel’s commercial capital to a halt.
