Hundreds of people are demonstrating in Habima Square in Tel Aviv at this time. The demonstrators expressed deep shock at the incident and shouted "No more!", "Shame!", "What part of the - have you not understood so far?", "I believe you!" And "you are not guilty"!

After about half an hour of demonstration, the crowd began to descend to the road and the Habima Square intersection was blocked for traffic. After a few minutes they began to descend towards Dizengoff and continued to call for an end to violence against women. Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck. 

A demonstration was also held in Givatayim tonight, where close to 500 participants gathered. Ran Konik, the mayor of Givatayim and his deputy, Or-Li Niv, came to support the rage demonstration "Do not remain silent in the face of rape." Although the incident is still in the midst of an investigation, Vetern has decided whether it was indeed rape. Konik held the "Believe You" sign.

In Ramat Hasharon, too, about 200 demonstrators shouted "Get tired, blame the rapist," and "Women demand security on the streets."
