Dozens of anti-government protestors blocked the Ayalon highway, one of Israel's main inter-city freeways, for a half an hour Thursday evening. The road was blocked during rush hour, disrupting traffic for thousands of commuters.
The demonstrators, who held a protest in front of MK Boaz Bismuth's (Likud) house, decided to spontaneously come to the highway and surprised the police.
After a discussion with police forces, the protestors left the highway and traffic was resumed.
The protest leaders announced that on Monday they plan to disrupt traffic to Ben Gurion Airport. "We are telling the public - it is time to come out and oppose [the judicial reforms]. We are going to use tools that are similar to what we used in the first round and some of them with a higher intensity," said Nadav Galon, one of the protest leaders. "We are preparing for the legislation to be renewed, many people gave them a chance to talk and it is clear that nothing came of it."
