VIDEO: Police Deploy Water Cannons as Protests Continue in Israel

Protests and acts of civil disobedience against judicial reforms continue in Israel. Today, July 24, the police have deployed water cannons in the streets, resulting in an injury to a protester. This has been reported by The Israel Times.

The injury occurred in the head area. It has been reported that dozens of protesters have been arrested near the Hebrew University High School. Around 150 companies, including shopping centers and banks, are participating in a business forum that announced a planned strike for July 24.

It is worth noting that the reforms proposed include restrictions on the powers of the Supreme Court and granting oversight of the judicial selection process to the executive branch of power. Furthermore, Israeli media reports indicate that the controversial legislation aims to prevent the court from using the "reasonableness standard" when assessing decisions made by the government or elected officials.
