Large protests took place on the main Tel Aviv-Jerusalem motorway on Monday as anti-government activists launched a “day of disruption” to mark the start of the Knesset’s summer assembly.
Police clashed with the demonstrators, whose key demands included an early election amid the failure to bring home the hostages and disagreements over Charedi conscription legislation.

Demonstrators were also rallying over the predicament of the tens of thousands of residents from the north and the south who remain displaced due to attacks from Hezbollah and Hamas, Times of Israel reported.
Protesters came from across Israel and convoys merged en route before starting to arrive in Jerusalem at around 2pm.
