Protesters march through the streets of Tel Aviv, chanting against the government and calling for the release of hostages.
While in previous weeks demonstrators opted to block the Ayalon Freeway, this week they are walking through some of the city’s most bustling streets like Ibn Gabirol, King George and Dizengoff.
People in restaurants and bars stop what they are doing to look at the march.
Bar Pakula, a protest organizer leading the march, tells The Times of Israel that the purpose of walking through Tel Aviv’s main streets is to wake city residents up from their complacency. As he marches, he chastises bar-goers and restaurant-goers for not joining the protest.
The march eventually halts at the Dizengoff Center mall where police disperse protesters using light force.
Police say no arrests are made and no fines are issued.
