Police, protesters clash in Tel Aviv as anti-racism protest turns violent | The Times of Israel
Five police were injured in the clashes, and at least three people were arrested, according to media reports.
The protest came three days after a stormy demonstration in Jerusalem was sparked by footage showing two policemen beating a uniformed Israeli soldier of Ethiopian origin.
The demonstration began near the Ayalon highway, a major Tel Aviv artery, which the protesters managed to block for three hours, creating massive traffic jams around the region.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said about 3,000 people took part in Sunday’s protest.
After police dispersed the protesters, the demonstration moved to Rabin Square, where protesters caused further traffic jams in roads around the large plaza, a popular gathering place for large rallies in Israel.

As police tried to contain the crowds, violence boiled over with protesters throwing rocks at police who responded with tear gas against the crowds as mounted police also joined the fray.
