Israel: Demonstrators clash with law enforcement officers in Tel Aviv May 11. Increased security likely
Authorities are likely to increase security near Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv, Israel, after clashes and protests late May 11.
Authorities will likely maintain increased security on the Ayalon Highway near HaShalom Bridge in Tel Aviv following clashes and protests late May 11. Demonstrators gathered to demand the release of hostages who were held by the Hamas militant group in the Gaza Strip. As of early May 12, authorities reportedly made several arrests and reopened all lanes of the highway.
The increased security may cause localized transport disruptions through the morning of May 12. Demonstrators may gather in the surrounding areas. Renewed clashes cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the demonstration site. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
