Social activists in Tel Aviv clashed with police across the city Saturday evening. The night started with a rally against police violence, as some 2,000 protestors gathered in Tel Aviv's Habima Square a day after 12 activists were detained by police during a social protest. Soon after, violent clashes erupted at various locations across Tel Aviv, including at 5 banks near the city's Rabin Square. Protestors shattered windows at some banks, in one case making their way into the bank with a tent, the symbol of last year's housing protest, and barricading themselves inside. Protestors blocked one of the city's main streets, Ibn Gvirol, and later also managed to halt traffic on the southbound lanes of the Ayalon Freeway. Some 85 people were arrested throughout the night.
