Police arrest suspect for disturbances at Tel Aviv protest, use water cannon to disperse crowd
Police say they arrested a suspect for disturbing order at anti-government protests in Tel Aviv.
After protesters refused to disperse following the approved rally, police declared it an illegal protest and began using crowd-dispersal methods to clear Azrieli Junction, where the activists had blocked roads.
Footage shows police using a water cannon to clear the area.
