Seven people participating in Israel's nationwide protests were arrested on Monday in Tel Aviv for 'violating public order and disrupting traffic,' as stated by the police.
The police reported that dozens of demonstrators used smoke grenades to block vehicle traffic recently.
The statement mentioned that 'police forces quickly arrived at the scene, working to clear the rioters and restore orderly traffic.'
Massive protests erupted following the recovery of the bodies of six hostages killed in Gaza over the weekend by Israel's military. Demonstrators are seeking to increase pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to secure a ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas.
