More than 400,000 Israelis poured into streets across the Jewish state to protest against the high cost of living, after organisers called for a "million-man march" to revitalise their movement.

The estimated figures were record-breaking, exceeding the 300,000 people who took part in similar demonstration on August 6, and lending new life to the six-week old movement calling for sweeping economic reforms.

Most Israeli media estimated that more than 400,000 people were demonstrating in cities and towns across the Jewish state, taking to the streets shortly after the end of the Jewish Sabbath.

Israeli police declined to give estimates for crowd figures, despite having given them during previous demonstrations.
