Police seize drums, megaphones from anti-government protesters in Tel Aviv

Mounted officers and police trucks are deployed at the Begin-Kaplan interchange, where protesters had said they would demonstrate. Police are ordering the marchers on Kaplan to move immediately onto Begin to clear the junction.

A commander also orders his officer to confiscate the megaphones and drums of anyone who fails to comply.

As officers snatch a woman’s megaphone, protesters chant, “Where were you in Sde Teiman,” referring to the police’s failure to arrest members of a right-wing mob that stormed the southern detention facility last summer over the arrest of reserve soldiers accused of severely abusing a Gazan detainee.
