Israeli reports said today, Wednesday, that five people were injured in clashes between supporters and opponents of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv.
Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper quoted opponents of Netanyahu as saying that elements supporting him infiltrated their march and attacked demonstrators with sticks, bottles and pepper spray.
More than a thousand people demonstrated last night near the home of the Minister of Internal Security, Amir Ohana, and closed the streets in Tel Aviv to protest "his attempt to thwart civil protests."
Israel is witnessing frequent protests against the government's policies related to the Corona virus and Netanyahu's handling of the pandemic.
Israel was quick to impose strict closure measures in March, which led to relatively low death rates and injuries, but it also accelerated the closure, which caused Corona's cases to increase again since the end of May.
