Tens of thousands of protesters packed the streets of Tel Aviv on Saturday night, marking the 28th straight week of demonstrations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to overhaul the country's judiciary. Protest leaders promised further "days of disruption" lie ahead.

The government gave initial approval to a key portion of the overhaul recently, breathing new life into the grassroots movement. Protestors said they would hold another "day of disruption" on Tuesday.
