Hundreds of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv and other cities on March 28, 2026, to protest the ongoing war in West Asia, with police moving in to disperse the unauthorized demonstrations.
The protests are part of weekly rallies against the conflict involving Israel, the United States, and Iran, which began on February 28. Initially small, the demonstrations have gradually grown, though they remain smaller than last year’s large protests over the Gaza war.
Several former lawmakers and activist groups, including Standing Together, Peace Now, and Women Wage Peace, joined the rallies. Police intervened in Tel Aviv and Haifa, removing protesters and using force in some cases. Authorities said the gatherings violated wartime restrictions that ban assemblies of more than 50 people.
Police reported that 13 people were arrested in Tel Aviv and five in Haifa. Organizers claimed the action was aimed at suppressing dissent, while participants raised concerns about the lack of clarity on the war’s objectives.
Despite the protests, public support for the war remains strong, with recent data showing a majority of Jewish Israelis backing the campaign.
The developments reflect a growing but still limited public debate within Israel over the ongoing conflict.
