Tens of thousands of people are protesting at locations across the country against the firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

Protests are reported in Haifa, Netanya and Beersheba and at junctions across the country, in addition to major demonstrations in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Dozens are also protesting in Nahariya and other communities in northern Israel despite Home Front Command instructions to limit public gatherings amid persistent rocket fire from Lebanon.
