The citizens of Israel are protesting the actions of its government.
Thousands of Israeli protesters Wednesday turned out to oppose the resumption of Israeli military attacks in Gaza and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to fire Shin Bet intelligence head Ronen Bar.
That agency is leading a corruption investigation into Netanyahu's office known as "Qatargate."
At least four people were arrested as protesters also accused the government of resuming the Gaza war to maintain Netanyahu's political power rather than acting in the best interests of the Israel.
Some carried a banner that said, "The future of the coalition or the future of Israel," reflecting sentiment that Netanyahu is more focused on preserving his right-wing political coalition over Israel's security.
The demonstrators gathered a day after Israel once again attacked Gaza, killing at least 404 Palestinians and injuring over 560.
The new attacks have helped stabilize Netanyahu's fragile governing coalition as he continues to battle a long-running corruption trial and investigation against him.
