Several hundred activists are demonstrating in Caesarea, as the scheduled protest there gets underway.

The event is taking place at an intersection in the northern part of the city, not far from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence.

“Until he goes, until he takes the blame,” the crowd chants, among other slogans.

Multiple groups are present at the scene, including Brothers in Arms, supporters of the Hostages and Missing Family Forum, and several youth groups. Some of the protesters are wearing t-shirts proclaiming themselves veterans of the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

About a dozen police officers observe the scene from a central traffic island, where loudspeakers have been set up.
