Thousands Protests At Tel Aviv Airport

ISRAEL – Thousands of anti-government protesters descended on Israel’s main airport, and blocked streets with large rallies in Tel Aviv.

Nationwide demonstrations erupted in response to the government advancing part of its judicial overhaul legislation.

While the protests were overwhelmingly non-violent – as was the case in previous anti-overhaul demonstrations – 77 people were arrested throughout the day.

Police intensified their dispersal measures, deploying a water cannon in Tel Aviv as well as other cities, and several incidents of officers beating demonstrators were caught on camera.
