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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
