Israeli activists from the "Changing Direction" movement staged a sit-in at the offices of the national broadcasting regulator.
The protest targeted unequal government benefits granted to Channel 14, a major right-wing news network.
Despite being one of Israel's top four most-watched television channels, the network maintains an official regulatory status as a "small independent channel," exempting it from standard fees and granting it millions in financial benefits.
The regulator called the police, who detained five demonstrators and injured one.
