Police and protesters clash on Derech Menachem Begin in Tel Aviv, Israel, late Jan. 11; lingering increased security and disruptions likely.
Heightened security will likely affect Derech Menachem Begin and adjacent areas in Tel Aviv over the coming hours after clashes broke out between protesters and police on the thoroughfare late Jan. 11. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Footage from the scene appears to show hundreds of activists participating in the protest.
Transport disruptions will likely affect Derech Menachem Begin and nearby routes over the short term. Additional demonstrations and further clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.
Avoid all protest activity as a standard precaution. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent the affected area and any disruptions. Adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.
