There are minor scuffles between police and demonstrators in Tel Aviv. It is unclear how the confrontations began on Yigal Alon Street.

Police say they prevented dozens of protesters from blocking the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv at the Arlozorov interchange.

Dozens of large gatherings around the country are expected to draw as many as half a million people to the streets in major cities, on highways and outside coalition members’ homes for a “day of paralysis” to protest the judicial overhaul.
