Anti-government protesters partially block the Morasha Junction near Tel Aviv, calling for immediate elections and a deal to free hostages held in the Gaza Strip.

Protesters wave a banner reading, “Enough of the government of destruction,” and burn tires on the road, before police arrive on the scene to disperse them.

Police say they have detained nine protesters for questioning over the disturbances, and reopened the road.
