Ten of thousands take to the streets in social protests across Israel – Haaretz

Tens of thousands of Israelis took to the streets on Saturday night to participate in demonstrations protesting the high cost of living in Israel. In Tel Aviv, around 10,000 protesters marched from Habima Square to the intersection of Ibn Gvirol and Shaul Hamelech streets, where a rally was held.

Noam Shalit, the father of captured IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, participated in the Tel Aviv rally. “Social justice also means returning to the values upon which a generation of fighters were educated: Leave no soldier behind,” Noam Shalit said.
