Tel Aviv protests against war on Iran met with police crackdown

Anti-war demonstrations took place on Saturday in dozens of locations across “Israel”, some of which were violently dispersed by the occupation’s police, resulting in the arrest of at least 18 protesters.

The protests, held under the slogan: “Say no to the eternal war of the Kahanist government, yes to just peace and security for the peoples of the region,” spread across approximately twenty locations, including occupied al-Quds, Haifa, and Tel Aviv.

The demonstrations, held under the slogan “For all of our lives,” were organized by a coalition of former lawmakers and focused on opposing the policies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Organizers said the protests targeted what they termed as “damage to democracy,” an ongoing “forever war,” and the government’s conduct during the aggression.
Settlers are calling for the dissolution of Netanyahu’s government and demanding early elections. They also denounced what they consider a suicidal military escalation against Iran and Hezbollah. Slogans like “We have forgotten how to be human” were chanted by the participants.

At the main protest in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square, Israeli police dispersed hundreds of demonstrators, citing violations of Home Front Command instructions.

According to Haaretz, the protests are organized by the “Peace Partnership” coalition, which brings together dozens of human rights organizations, along with groups previously involved in anti-government demonstrations, including “Israeli Patriots” and “Women’s Protest”.

In the same context, police also dispersed around one hundred protesters who gathered near the square, holding images of children killed since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Iran, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank.
IOF targets in Lebanon: Journalists, medics, pregnant women, infants
An escalating wave of Israeli aggression across Lebanon since March 2 has killed civilians, including medics, ambulance workers, journalists, a pregnant woman carrying twins, and Lebanese soldiers, alongside reports of a significant number of child casualties each day.

It is now four weeks, while millions of civilians in Lebanon are enduring severe hardship amid a second major Israeli aggression on their country in less than two years.

Roughly a quarter of Lebanon’s population has been forcibly displaced following Israeli mass evacuation orders issued for the south and for Beirut’s Southern Suburb, known as Dahieh. According to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health, the most recent aggression has resulted in at least 1,094 killings and 3,119 injuries over just over three weeks. The reported fatalities include at least 81 women and 121 children.
