Anti-war protests took place across Israel on Saturday evening, with demonstrations in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, and Kfar Saba proceeding under strict wartime restrictions on public assembly.
Protesters carried slogans opposing the conflict and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while authorities limited attendance to small, tightly controlled groups with numbers capped due to security concerns, including potential missile threats.
The Home Front Command approved only restricted gatherings near protected spaces, prompting legal challenges from civil rights groups who argued the limits undermined freedom of expression.
The dispute followed a tense High Court hearing, where judges confirmed that the right to protest must be upheld even during wartime, pressing authorities to find a workable framework for demonstrations.

Cops, little more than violent government henchmen/women, the world over. Applaud the protesters efforts. This war of aggression needs to end.
They started it, and their attempts at establishing a fake, one-sided cease-fire isn’t working this time.
There are people there who opposed this from the start, including religious figures. It may be only now they can come out and protest, given the support for this is no doubt waning. In any case, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. I don’t think all people anywhere are warmongers.
Shame they did not protest when Gaza was bombed to smithereens. Or when little kids in Gaza were shot for ” fun” among other crimes as they all are member of the IDF and thus all take part in crimes against palestinians.
Let them take a taste of their own medicine now.
Let the Palestinian farmers have a go at them.
Looks like Israel can’t cope with being hit by the kind of violence they habitually dish out year, after year, after year and decade after decade.
Suck it up and cope harder.
