Israeli police clashed with anti-war demonstrators at Habima Square on April 4, violently dispersing the crowd with mounted officers despite a High Court order allowing protests up to 600. Police declared the protest unlawful; 17 arrests made (organizer Alon Lee Green among them; police acknowledged 10). Police allegedly blocked the 17 detainees from accessing Habima's underground bomb shelter during a Houthi BM siren — reportedly ordering the bus to leave, taking detainees to a windowed room. Alon Lee Green: 'All of these police officers broke the law.' MK Kariv: Home Front Command shows 'deep disregard for democracy.' Shas, Otzma Yehudit (Ben Gvir), and UTJ condemned the High Court ruling as violating the Sabbath.
