Police detain man for allegedly making online posts calling for violence at anti-government protests

Police say they have arrested a 45-year-old man suspected of making online posts calling to burn the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv, ahead of nationwide anti-government protests this evening.

“Burning the Ayalon is the most responsible thing to do. Throwing a burning torch at a mounted police officer is the most democratic thing to do,” the suspect, a resident of Rishon Lezion allegedly wrote on social media.
