Thousands of Israelis take to the streets in response to PM Netanyahu’s surprise sacking of his defence minister Yaov Gallant for challenging a controversial judicial overhaul plan
Israeli police also announced that they were increasing forces at all stations in the country following mass protests and arrests would be made in cases of"severe violence and vandalism."
Protesters in Tel Aviv blocked a main highway and lit large bonfires late Sunday night, while police scuffled with protesters who gathered outside Netanyahu's private home in Jerusalem. Netanyahu's dismissal of Defence Minister Yoav Gallant signalled that the prime minister and his allies would barrel ahead this week with the overhaul plan.
