Israeli police arrested 21 people during protests in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on Saturday, March 28, 2026. The demonstrations, which drew thousands, were organized by groups opposing the government's hardline stance and military preparations regarding Iran.
Authorities stated the arrests were made for public disturbance and blocking roads. The protests occurred despite reported public support for a firm posture against Iran, though specific survey data on an operation named "Roaring Lion" could not be independently verified by major news outlets.
The demonstrations highlight domestic divisions within Israel as regional tensions remain high. Police confirmed the arrests and the restoration of order following the events.
