Protesters have gone onto the Ayalon highway in Tel Aviv blocking traffic and setting fires to protest the firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in the middle of the war.

Among those calling for protests are anti-government groups and families of the hostages who accuse Netanyahu of playing politics and endangering their loved ones.
