At the main protest in Tel Aviv, some 175,000 people were reported to be in attendance.

Protest organizers appealed to the police commissioner on Saturday night to hold an emergency meeting to discuss violence used against demonstrators that evening, according to Walla! Police were reportedly seen using devices dubbed "tzeakot" (literally, "screams") which create a deafeningly loud sound next to protesters in Tel Aviv.
