Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice have detained at least six anti-government protesters on Tel Aviv’s Begin Road after telling them to clear the street.
Officers pile onto one person after he tries to interject in a conflict between police and a protester who was yelling at them.
Mounted officers ride into the crowd as protesters yell slogans against them. A water cannon appears but is yet to be used.
A policeman also snatches a megaphone from the hands of one protester and tosses it into the ashes of a bonfire the demonstrators had lit.

There had been no arrests at the weekly protests since the beginning of December, when Hamas released a video of hostage Matan Zangauker.
