On Saturday, hundreds of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv to protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government's handling of the ongoing war with Iran. The demonstrators, carrying anti-war banners, called for an end to military actions in Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza, claiming that the government was using police to suppress their voices. Alon-Lee Green, co-director of the grassroots group Standing Together, emphasized that the continuous state of war in Israel limits citizens' ability to express dissent. Many protesters expressed skepticism about the government's reasons for the war, suspecting it serves as a distraction from Netanyahu's long-running corruption trial. In response, Netanyahu vowed to continue military operations, stating that strikes against Iranian targets are essential for national security. The protests occurred amid ongoing missile attacks from Iran, which have intensified since the conflict began over a month ago, injuring at least five individuals in recent incidents.
