Police shut down Tel Aviv’s Kaplan Street in the direction of the Ayalon Highway as hundreds of anti-government protesters begin gathering at the site.

Kaplan Street has been the epicenter of mass protests against the government’s judicial overhaul plan and demonstrators have frequently tried to shut down the highway, the main thoroughfare through the city.

Marches are being held in Tel Aviv and nearby Raanana, Kfar Saba and Hod Hasharon.
