Police say they deployed water cannons in the streets of Tel Aviv due to “illegal” protests by anti-government demonstrators.

A water cannon and mounted police disperse demonstrators who appear headed toward the Ayalon Highway.

Several people are injured and ambulances can be seen evacuating them to local hospitals.

After approximately half an hour after it was deployed, the water cannon begins to reverse back down Kaplan Street, away from the protesters. Sensing a perhaps temporary victory, the crowd cheers and a flare is lit.
