Anti-government and hostage deal demonstrations begin throughout the country.
At Tel Aviv’s Habima Square, anti-government protesters hold banners demanding the release of hostages and the end to the war, and decrying the burden of the war on reservists as ultra-Orthodox Yeshiva students evade military recruitment.
Protests are also ongoing in smaller cities and intersections across the country.
