The Times of Israel is liveblogging Saturday’s events as they unfold.
A suspected infiltration alert is sounding in the West Bank settlements of Kochav Yaakov and Tel Zion, north of Jerusalem.
The military’s Home Front Command orders residents to remain in their homes and lock doors and windows until further notice, as the army conducts scans of the area.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid arrives at the anti-government in Tel Aviv.
Lapid says the protesters have come “to save the country.”
“We will fight here in the streets, we will fight in the Knesset, we will fight in the courts, we will save our country, because we refuse to live in an undemocratic country,” Lapid says.

Thousands of protesters are gathering in Tel Aviv for two anti-government protests in the coastal city, one on Kaplan Street and the other at Habima Square.
The demonstrations mark the fifth week that opponents of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government will take to the streets, protesting Justice Minister Yariv Levin’s proposals to shake up the judiciary by severely curbing the High Court of Justice’s judicial review powers and cementing political control over the appointment of judges.
