Mounted police block judicial overhaul protesters from nearing the Ayalon highway in Tel Aviv.

The line of police officers on horses block the road at Hashalom interchange.

Police and far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir have vowed to prevent the blocking of the major thoroughfare.

Tens of thousands of protesters are marching through Tel Aviv, and around the country, to demonstrate against the government’s plan to neuter the judicial system.
