Hundreds of protesters march through central Jerusalem, joining thousands of others at locations around Israel demanding that the government close a deal to free hostages held by Hamas in Gaza since October 7, 2023.
Some protesters bang drums as they march, while others hold signs reading, “The war is over. Bring them home!” and, “Bring them home from hell.”
At Karkur Junction in the Sharon region, anti-government protesters say one activist has been detained for blocking the road.
Alongside the main rally in Tel Aviv this evening, smaller protests are also being held in cities and towns, including Beersheba, Modi’in, Haifa and Rehovot.
