ZZ BottomSeveral hundred protesters gathered at Tel Aviv’s Habima Square on Saturday evening to demand an end to the war.
The demonstration took place amid strict wartime restrictions that typically limit public gatherings to 150 people. However, following a legal appeal, Supreme Court justices issued an interim ruling on Saturday allowing up to 600 participants at Habima Square and 150 at various other sites nationwide.
But authorities soon declared the assembly unlawful and police moved in to forcibly clear the square, resulting in at least 17 arrests.
