Police detain several people in Jerusalem and on the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv, where hundreds of people participated in a road blockage following the weekly anti-government protest on Kaplan Street.
The detentions in Tel Aviv follow the arrival of a crowd of protesters to the northbound lanes of the traffic artery. Police use water cannons on some protesters as officers detain and carry off others, including Noy Erez, a spokeswoman of Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats Party, a newly established merger of the Labor party under Golan and Meretz.
In Jerusalem, police arrest protesters en route the Prime Minister’s Residence on Aza Street, where hundreds of people marched to call for an early election.

In a video from the protest, Erez is seen lying on the road carrying a sign reading “bring them back home and go home” as a police officer orders her to get up. Photos from event show Erez being carried away by police officers.
