Protesters clash with police, block traffic on Tel Aviv highway
Skirmishes break out between anti-government demonstrators and police near Democracy Square in Tel Aviv.
The Times of Israel witnesses at least one arrest and extensive shoving by police, as protesters try to circumvent barricades put up near exits to the Ayalon Highway.
Police also try to disperse the crowd using mounted officers and a water cannon.
