Tens of thousands of Israelis have gathered outside the parliament building in Jerusalem in the largest anti-government demonstration since the country went to war.
Protesters are urging the government to reach a ceasefire deal to free the dozens of hostages held in Gaza by Hamas.
They also want the government to hold an early election.
Crowds today stretched for miles around the parliament building known as the Knesset.
Protesters were pictured gathering round fires and setting off flares while others clashed with police.
Organisers have vowed to continue demonstrating for several days.
It comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to undergo surgery for a hernia after it was discovered during a routine check-up last night.
Here are the latest pictures from the scene:
