During large protests in Tel Aviv, the Israel Police arrested 16 individuals who were calling for the release of hostages held in Gaza and the removal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The arrests were made due to disruption of traffic and road blockages, as stated by the police in a release on Saturday.
The police reported that the protestors caused public disorder by igniting fires, toppling police barriers, obstructing roads, and scuffling with law enforcement. In response, 16 disorderly individuals were arrested, and 9 citations of 1000 shekels ($270) were issued for disruption of traffic and road blockages.
