Protesters blocking street junctions in Tel Aviv

Ethiopian Israeli protesters are blocking the intersection of Shaul Hamelech Boulevard, as the demonstration moves several roads after leaving Habima Square.

Some people in the crowd call for the group to walk toward the Ayalon Highway and to block it. Others want to stay put.

The scorching heat today may be a contributing factor to the relatively calm demonstration. The turnout is much lower than the demonstration that took place in Tel Aviv two weeks ago.
