Protesters turn out to demonstrations at bridges and intersections around the country against the government’s judicial shakeup plans, as the “day of resistance” continues.
Karkur Junction in the north, a main street in the central city of Ness Ziona, parts of the Coastal Highway, a major street in Rehovot and other main thoroughfares are reportedly blocked by rallies.
Police say 22 protesters were arrested this morning and afternoon in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
