Dozens of protesters block Ibn Gvirol Street in Tel Aviv, demanding the government reach a deal to release the hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Protesters also gather at Shilat Junction near Modiin and block a road in the northern city of Rosh Pina.
The demonstrations kick off today’s general strike, announced yesterday by the Histadrut Labor Federation, to pressure the government to do more to reach a deal with the Hamas terror group after the bodies of six murdered hostages were recovered from a tunnel in Rafah.
