Five protesters arrested in front of Netanyahu’s house in Jerusalem

Five demonstrators were arrested in front of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s house today, protesting the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, Israeli media reported.

About 20 people gathered in front of Netanyahu’s house early this morning, shouting through loudspeakers to the prime minister that the hostages are suffering in the Hamas tunnels “cold, tortured and sick” while he is in his safe house, the Times of Israel reported, citing Channel 12.

Demonstrators also chanted that his wife, Sara Netanyahu, was under police investigation and that his son was avoiding reserve service during the Gaza war by living in Miami.

“Everything closes in around you. We will not forget and we will not forgive”, shouted the demonstrators, who were beating drums and blowing horns.

The media stated that the demonstrators dispersed after about twenty minutes of protest, and that on their way out, several of them were stopped by the police and taken to the nearby police station for questioning. Police said some of the protesters were detained for violating noise restrictions.
