Police clashed with protesters near the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday evening, with Israeli media reporting that one of the detainees was a family member of an Israeli captive held in Gaza.
The demonstrators are demanding new elections, a ceasefire in Gaza, as well as an agreement for the release of captives held in the Palestinian enclave.

Israelis have been gathering in Tel Aviv every Saturday evening since the current conflict began in October, but this week tens of thousands of people descended on Jerusalem. Protesters outside the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, were joined by opposition leader Yair Lapid.
Organizers of anti-government protests have called for a “week of disruption”.
They also called on local authorities and business leaders to join the protests, with the aim of holding elections before the first anniversary of the Hamas attack in southern Israel on October 7.
Earlier on Monday, families of Israeli prisoners took part in one of the parliamentary committees, saying they were fed up with the lack of leadership and decision-making.
Pressure is mounting on Netanyahu, who dissolved the war cabinet Monday after his rival Benny Gantz left him with former army chief Gadi Eisenkot over the lack of a future plan for Gaza.
Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut, from Amman, Jordan, said protesters were also demonstrating against the protracted conflict with Hezbollah in the north, which has displaced hundreds of thousands of Israelis for months.
“Both sides have intensified their attacks in recent weeks. The Israelis say they are not afraid of entering into a real conflict with Hezbollah. However, evacuees living in northern Israel have now had their return date pushed back to the end of August,” she said.
“These people are currently protesting against the government and the protesters say there is no plan to deal with the incessant fires at the border,” Salhut said.
Amir Oren, a columnist for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, said anger against the government was growing among Israelis displaced in the north due to eight months of cross-border fighting with Hezbollah in the south of Lebanon.
“Public opinion is now against the Netanyahu government, about three-quarters of the public are fed up with Netanyahu. They want him out. But there is no way to convert it into parliamentary power because he still has his 64-seat coalition intact,” Oren told Al Jazeera.
“As long as there are no cracks in this coalition, the cries of hostage families and displaced people (from northern Israel) will have no effect. »
