Protesters in Tel Aviv briefly manage to run onto the Ayalon highway, but are pushed back by police, including officers on horseback. In one spot along the Hashalom exit, a group of about 30 protesters face off with some 10 cops standing on the shoulder of the highway.

Overhead, large fireworks illuminate the night sky, as thousands crowd onto the Hashalom bridge spanning the freeway.
