Police forces in Tel Aviv are forcibly dispersing protesters blocking Ayalon highway in Tel Aviv, using water cannons and preventing the demonstration from continuing south.

Demonstrators are intermittently letting cars drive past as they call for the release of hostages and for early elections.

Unlike the previous two weeks, police have brought horses to assist them with dispersing the demonstration.
