In Israel, protesters tried to break through to Netanyahu's residence in Jerusalem

In Israel, anti-government protesters, along with relatives of hostages kidnapped by Hamas, tried to break through to the residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.

The march of demonstrators and families of hostages began at the Knesset building. Then the protesters, as The Times of Israel writes , went to Netanyahu’s residence on Gaza Street. The police tried to erect fences, but the protesters began to demolish them, Kan radio station reported.

One of the protesters climbed under the wheels of a police water cannon to stop it. The police pulled him out from there.

The Yediot News portal writes that the police detained four people after breaking through the barriers. According to The Times of Israel, during clashes near Netanyahu’s residence, police tried to detain a relative of one of the elderly hostages remaining in Hamas captivity, Ayala Metzger, by dragging her along the ground. Another protester threw a burning torch at a mounted policeman - he was also detained, writes The Times of Israel.

The police did not make official statements about those detained.

• On Saturday, March 30, the largest demonstration since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip took place in Tel Aviv, in which the families of kidnapped Israeli hostages united with opposition members protesting against the government. They demand an immediate deal to release the hostages, blaming Netanyahu for ruining it. Protests took place in other cities, and police detained at least 16 people.
