Against the background of increasing allegations of sexual harassment on the streets of Beer Sheva and the escalation of crime in the Negev, tomorrow (Wednesday) Negev residents, heads of local authorities and civil society organizations will hold a protest march demanding the return of security to residents.
The march will make its way from the Be'er Sheva District Court building, towards a rally to be held in front of the city hall.

"I call on all of you. It is time to get up from the couches, get out from behind the keyboard and come to a demonstration that says: Enough of the contempt of the State of Israel and the courts, in our children's lives and in our national dignity," said Avi Hilda.
