Thousands of people protested outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Jerusalem residence Saturday night, on the 24th week of such mass demonstrations against the premier.
Clashes developed around 9 p.m. and 27 people were arrested after attempting to block off the entrances and exits to the residence on Balfour Street.
Demonstrators said police used disproportionate force against rally-goers. They said one woman was stripped down to her bra as dragged her away, with her shirt pulled off her body as officers struggled with her.
Media reports said many protesters at the rally chanted “We’ve come to banish the darkness,” a refrain from a popular song of the Hanukkah holiday, which begins next week.
Saturdays events in Jerusalem included several protest marches through the city that converged on Paris Square, near the premier’s residence.
