Mass protests in Israel after defense minister fired  - 1

Protests erupted in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Galant, reports Nova.

Several thousand people blocked major roads and highways, lit bonfires and expressed dissatisfaction with Netanyahu's decision.

For months, Galant and Netanyahu, both members of the right-wing Likud party, have been at loggerheads over the goals of Israel's 13-month conflict in Gaza against the Palestinian group Hamas.
