The announcement that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant was met with protests and rioting in Israeli cities.
Similar disturbance has been reported in Jerusalem, Haifa, Caesarea, and other places. In Tel Aviv, demonstrators were pelted with water cannons while crowds obstructed traffic and started fires.
Next to a fire, protesters brandishing Israeli flags scuffle with police.
