Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir dismissed from his position the commander of the Tel Aviv district, Ami Ashad, following the protests against the legal revolution.
In a joint announcement by the police and the Ministry of National Security, it was announced this evening (Thursday) that Ashad will be transferred to the position of head of the training department.
Eshad was transferred to a staff position, after two months in which he was criticized by Ben Gabir for the management of the demonstrations and their containment in the Tel Aviv area.
In the meantime, a replacement for the position has not yet been appointed, and Ashad's deputy will fill the position.
The opposition's response was not long in coming, when Knesset member Gideon Sa'ar attacked in a tweet on Twitter: Yair Netanyahu is tweeting and Ben Gvir is dissing.
A crazy move by a caricature of a government that is becoming more and more disconnected from its people.
The answer is to intensify the protest."
Today, thousands demonstrated against the government in dozens of localities and cities throughout the country, and from the morning hours various roads were blocked and many traffic disruptions were recorded.
This, in the background of the continuation of the legislation in the Knesset of the reform articles in the legal system.
At least 20 protesters were arrested throughout the day on suspicion of disorderly conduct.
During the demonstrations, violent arrests of protesters were reported.
A police officer dislocated his shoulder and went to the Ichilov Hospital in the city for medical treatment.
The protestors blocked major lanes on the coastal road, on Route 6, in the Sharon area, in Jerusalem and in Tel Aviv - where the protestors descended on the Ayalon lanes, started a march and confronted the police.
The demonstrators chanted at the police officers "Where have you been in Hawara".
Makhtazeit arrived on the scene, and the brains put flowers on her - after they tried to block the way of Makhtazeit.
The police cleared the protesters after about two hours and the lanes were opened to traffic.
