Police say they have so far arrested 15 anti-government demonstrators at Ben Gurion airport for unrest and public disturbances.
A police statement says that officers “are continuing at this time with an uncompromising enforcement operation outside Terminal 3” at the airport.
There is lots of pushing and shoving between protesters and police, including with officers mounted on horseback.
Police have at least two water cannons stationed at the scene, but have not yet used them.
