Dozens of Israelis set up a small-scale tent city protest in south Tel Aviv's Lewinsky Park on Monday, less than a day after municipality officials expelled a similar protest at the same spot.
Demonstrators began arriving at the park at 7 p.m., and eventually faced off with a single clerk from the municipality who repeatedly warned them not to pitch any tents or the tents would be confiscated. An at-times heated and to some degree comical back-and-forth then ensued between the clerk and several protesters, who eventually managed to set up 6 tents in a semi-circle, before the clerk gave up and retreated several meters away where he remained with two colleagues from the municipality.
