(ANSA) - TEL AVIV, MARCH 23 - Sit-ins under the homes of government officials, marches, roadblocks, clashes with the police and arrests are marking yet another national protest in many parts of Israel against the judicial reform of Benyamin Netanyahu's government.
The greatest tension is in Tel Aviv where, according to the media, 18 people have so far been arrested in demonstrations with roadblocks and clashes with the police in the city centre.
In what was dubbed 'Paralysis Day' by protest organizers, protesters staged demonstrations outside the houses of Shas religious leader Aryeh Deri, a former government home and health minister convicted of multiple tax crimes,
The same happened under the house of education minister Yoav Kisch.
Meanwhile, Shikma Bressler, one of the leaders of the protests whom the police had arrested in the past few hours, has been released.
Demonstrations are reported in Jerusalem, in Ashdod, Raanana, Bnei Brak where a group of army reservists protested for the second time in the Orthodox district.
Demonstrations are scheduled at Ben Gurion airport at the same time as Prime Minister Netanyahu's departure for London on a state visit, the fourth stop after Paris, Rome and Berlin.
Protests also outside the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv (the only ministry not in Jerusalem) where some relatives of Israeli soldiers killed in service protested against the reform.
