Tens of thousands of people gathered in Tel Aviv to demand a return of the hostages and mark the birthday of Sasha Trufanov, who is being held captive in Gaza.
“The support of people here really strengthens us,” says the mother of Ron Sherman, a soldier who was kidnapped. “We are worried they’ll forget them.”
Among those participating in the packed “Hostage Square” rally are former Israeli president Reuven Rivlin; singer Shlomo Artzi, Ninette Tayeb and Shai Gabso; former education minister Shai Piron and several representatives of the families of the captives, including Maayan Tzin, the mother of Dafna (15) and Ella (8).
