Clashes broke out between police and anti-government protesters during a demonstration at Ben Gurion Airport today (Monday) after the protestors entered the reception hall for arriving passengers.
Police attempted to remove the protestors from the building. Fifteen protestors have been arrested.
The Israel Police said in a statement: "The police once again emphasize that they allow the exercise of the basic right to protest, but we will carry out enforcement to maintain the accessibility of the traffic lanes in Ben Gurion Airport for the emergency and rescue bodies and in order to maintain public order."
Earlier, the protest body called 'Kaplan Force' released instructions for demonstrators at Ben Gurion Airport, with an emphasis on how drivers in vehicles should behave.
"Drive slowly, honk, take the flags out of the vehicle, and show that this is a moving protest," the Kaplan Force stated.
"Wave the Israeli flags from the vehicle, shout for democracy, and cheer with your car horns," the instructions continue.
All the protesters received the messaage that "there is no need to demean protest symbols and flags, the police will take care to protect the protesters and allow the democratic demonstration that will help stop the dictatorial and extreme moves of the Israeli government led by Netanyahu."
At the end, the organizers wrote: "Pay attention, we must convey a clear and sharp message to the government of Israel, if you try to create a dictatorship, we will know, as in the first round, how to paralyze the state and stop the legislation."
