On Tuesday evening, November 5, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Defense Minister Yoav Gallant from his post, citing a "crisis of confidence" that was "deepening." In this regard, dissenters took to the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv, blocking traffic and setting fires.
This was reported by The Times of Israel.

The media writes that among those calling for protests are anti-government groups and families of hostages who accuse Netanyahu of playing political games and endangering their loved ones.
Against this backdrop, police are already setting up barricades near the prime minister's residence in Jerusalem and the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv.
In addition to Tel Aviv, protests have also been recorded in Haifa, Netanya, and Beersheba.
As a reminder, the administration of US President Joe Biden is putting pressure on Israel over the situation in the Gaza Strip. The United States has set a number of requirements that the country must fulfill by November 13.
