Police and protesters clashed in Tel Aviv on Saturday night after a day of rallies calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and for the return of all hostages. Videos posted on social media showed horse-mounted police and water cannons in Tel Aviv’s Democracy Square attempting to disperse crowds, resulting in violent clashes.
At a separate protest, police arrested two individuals for disorderly conduct after they allegedly left the approved demonstration site and engaged in disruptive behavior. The clashes followed anti-government protest marches in various Israeli cities, with demonstrators demanding the release of hostages taken during Hamas’ attack on October 7 and calling for a general election.
