Jerusalem: The protests in Tel Aviv have ended.
Police detained 18 people for attacking law enforcement officers or disturbing the peace.
Meanwhile, 10 policemen received injuries, according to The Times of Israel newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Since January 2023, Israel has been gripped by mass protests sparked by the judicial reform proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s cabinet.
Last week, the Israeli parliament approved for second and third readings one of the key clauses of the judicial reform, which limits the power of the Supreme Court to overturn government decisions by declaring them unreasonable.
On Monday, the Israeli parliament approved the draft law on the concept of reasonableness within the framework of judicial reform.
All opposition lawmakers boycotted the voting.
