Protesters flank police barricades in Caesarea, reaching within 200 yards of Netanyahu’s home

Hundreds of anti-government protesters flank police barricades in Caesarea, prompting police to scramble and reposition barriers meant to block them from reaching the private residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The marchers reached the barricades from the east instead of the west, as they had done in previous protest rallies in Caesarea in recent weeks, says a spokesperson from Moked Caesarea, the name of the group coordinating protests in the town of some 6,000 residents near Netanya.

Chanting slogans such as “you are guilty” and “resign,” the protesters stop short of approaching the barricades themselves, pausing behind some fencing that police had set up around the barricade perimeter.

Moked Caesarea on Facebook says they are within roughly 200 yards of the residence, 600 yards closer than in previous weeks.
