Police are working to clear some 50 anti-government, pro-hostage deal protesters blocking southbound traffic near the Hashalom exit of the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv.
Protesters were earlier cleared off the northbound route as well, where an officer helped cars drive around a bonfire still lit on the road.
