"Protesters Clash with Police and Block Roads After Controversial Judicial Bill Passes"

Chaos erupted in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as activists protested against the government's passage of a judicial bill that is part of a plan to remake the country's judiciary. Protesters blocked roads, clashed with police, and vowed to intensify demonstrations. The bill, which passed its final two votes, has been criticized for potentially undermining Israel's democracy. Police used mounted officers, water cannons, and skunk water to disperse the protesters. At least 33 people were arrested, and there were reports of police violence and incidents of violence involving protesters. The government defended the bill as a necessary democratic act to restore balance between the branches of government.
