Police clash with demonstrators in Israel, more than 20 people arrested

Israeli police are clashing with protesters on the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv as they try to clear the road, with some officers reportedly throwing stun grenades at demonstrators.

Israelo media reports indicate that at least 20 people have been arrested.

Member of Israeli parliamnet Naama Lazimi of the Labor Party shared on her X account that a stun grenade was thrown at her and her advisor, knocking them down.

"A stun grenade was thrown at me and my advisor just now. We fell from the force and panic, and then another explosion occurred, nearly hitting us directly," Lazimi wrote.

She added, "A police officer who noticed the incident quickly pulled us away from the grenade. Miraculously, [we didn't suffer] anything more terrible than a few bruises."
