I had never heard of Gallant night until last night, but apparently it went down last time Netanyahu tried to fire Gallant and the country went insane, to the extent that he was forced to cancel his dismissal.
Last night, suddenly and unexpectedly, he fired Gallant for the second time, leading to widespread upheaval and riots in Israel, but nothing like Gallant Night the first.
It still wasn't pretty though- with Israelis taking to the streets in protest.
Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan, is STILL being held hostage in Gaza, also attended the protests. Since his kidnapping, she has waged a continuous battle to get her son (and the other 100 hostages) released from Hamas captivity, but at the time of writing this article, she has sadly been unsuccessful.
Here's what it looked like:
