An anti-government march to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence in Jerusalem has strayed off course, with protesters making a break for the city entrance.
The march has now split into multiple directions and police are spraying demonstrators with the putrid Skunk liquid, a chemical compound designed to disperse crowds.
A group of protesters is now marching towards Netanyahu’s residence, and will likely proceed through Jerusalem’s Rehavia neighborhood to reach their destination.
