mass protests in "Israel"

Thousands of Israelis participated, since the early morning hours, in widespread protests against the so-called judicial reforms led by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.

The protesters called their activities the "Day of Disruption".

The protesters closed the entrance to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and the Kiriah base of the Israeli Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv.

The protesters also closed several main roads and intersections and disrupted vehicular traffic. They also organized a demonstration in front of the house of the President of the Histadrut in Kiryat Ono.

In the coming hours, it is expected that the protests will expand in separate areas.
