Israel: Protesters plan to march in Tel Aviv from 19:00 Aug. 6

Event

Activists plan to march in central Tel Aviv Aug. 6 to denounce the authorities' alleged failure to provide adequate protection for the Arab communities amid a rise in violent crimes. Protesters plan to gather at Habima Square at 19:00 and march to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. A few hundred people could participate in the action.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest sites and march route. While the demonstration will probably pass peacefully, minor skirmishes between police and activists remain possible, especially if protesters become overly disruptive.

Advice

Avoid the gathering as a precaution. Seek alternative routes and allow additional time to reach destinations in central Tel Aviv the evening of Aug. 6. Heed official directives.
