Green and several other protesters were soon detained by police, an AFP correspondent reported.<\/p>\n
Protesters also voiced scepticism about the Government\u2019s justification for the war with Iran.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very suspicious of the reasons. I think the main reason is that Bibi wants to stop his trial,\u201d said Cecile, 62, who gave only her first name, referring to Netanyahu with his nickname.<\/p>\n
Netanyahu is on trial in a long-running corruption case and has sought a presidential pardon, with United States President Donald Trump repeatedly pressuring Israeli President Isaac Herzog to grant one.<\/p>\n
In a video statement released today NZT, Netanyahu vowed to press ahead with the military campaign against Iran.<\/p>\n
\u201cI promised you that we would continue to strike the terror regime in Tehran, and that is exactly what we are doing,\u201d Netanyahu said.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, we attacked their petrochemicals hub,\u201d he added, after announcing strikes on Iran\u2019s steel-producing facilities the day before.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese two things are their cash machine for funding the war of terror against us and against the entire world. We will continue to strike them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Cecile said the reasons for the war kept shifting.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reasons for the war keep moving and changing all the time. We don\u2019t know what will be considered a success or a failure, and we don\u2019t know how long it\u2019s gonna take,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Several waves of Iranian missiles have been launched towards Israel today, including targets in Tel Aviv and other areas of central Israel.<\/p>\n
At least five people were injured after the missile fire, according to Israeli medics.<\/p>\n
Demonstrators began leaving the square following an alert warning of an incoming missile.<\/p>\n
Minutes later, the military reported it had detected an incoming missile from Yemen.<\/p>\n
Since February 28, the US and Israel have conducted joint strikes on Iran, prompting the Islamic Republic to retaliate with daily missile barrages targeting Israel and several neighbouring countries across the region.<\/p>\n
