Anti-government protesters begin to block highways and gather at interchanges across the country in a call for elections and hostage deal.

Protest organizers say roads will be blocked at various times of the day nationwide as part of a “day of disruption” as Israel marks nine months since Hamas’s shock attack, with 120 hostages still held in Gaza.

The protests began this morning at 6:29 a.m., the exact time the devastating terror onslaught began on October 7.

The day will culminate with a mass protest outside military headquarters in Tel Aviv.
