About 3,000 Israelis participated in a march Saturday night marking the second anniversary of the social protests of the summer of 2011.

The marchers walked down Ibn G’virol Street to Caplan Street, to the spot where a protester named Moshe Silman set himself on fire a year ago. They set up a monument in his memory.
