STORYLINE:
Tens of thousands of Israelis took to the streets on Sunday, blocking a major highway and setting fires, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired the country's defence minister who opposed a plan to overhaul the judiciary.

Yoav Gallant had called on Netanyahu to halt the proposal - which would give the governing coalition the final say over all judicial appointments.

It also seeks to pass laws that would grant parliament the authority to override Supreme Court decisions with a basic majority and limit judicial review of laws.

On Sunday, protesters took to Tel Aviv's Ayalon highway, turning it into a sea of blue-and-white Israeli flags and lighting a large bonfire in the middle of the road.

Demonstrations took place in Beersheba, Haifa and Jerusalem, where thousands of people gathered outside Netanyahu's private residence.
