Protesters begin to gather in Tel Aviv for a weekly demonstration against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government’s planned judicial overhaul.

The mood is more subdued than in previous weeks, after seven people were killed and five injured in two Jerusalem terror attacks.

Organizers said ahead of the demonstration that there would be no music at the rally as a sign of respect for the victims, and they would hold a minute of silence.

Protestors light candles in memory of those killed at a specially arranged table at Habima Square.
