Hundreds of anti-government protesters begin gathering outside, and in some cases inside, the main terminal at Ben Gurion airport amid a heavy police presence.

They are putting up signs and calling out “Democracy” and other slogans against the ongoing judicial overhaul.

The anti-government protesters have called for a major demonstration at the airport today.

In some cases, police can be seen trying to push demonstrators out of the arrival hall.
