A series of roads have been blocked nationwide and some protesters have been arrested as demonstrators rally outside the homes of cabinet ministers across the country.
Police say that two protesters were arrested in Tel Aviv on charges of attacking police officers and disturbing public order, near the home of Negev and Galilee Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf. Two people were also arrested outside the home of Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana in Tel Aviv for disturbing public order, say police.
Route 2 along the coast was briefly blocked, as are roads near Justice Minister Yariv Levin’s home in Modiin and in areas of Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan.
Last night, 37 protesters were arrested nationwide in fiery demonstrations after Tel Aviv police chief Ami Eshed said he was forced out of his job for not cracking down more harshly on protests.
