Israel Police forces sprayed protesters with foul-smelling “skunk spray” in an attempt to disperse crowds blocking traffic and lighting bonfires on Jerusalem’s Begin Highway, Hebrew media reports.
Mounted police were dispatched to disperse the protesters, who then continued marching in the direction of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Jerusalem residence.
In a statement, the police say that one “rioter” was arrested near the Chords Bridge and that the majority of the roads that had been closed to traffic have since been reopened.
