Protesters gather at Tel Aviv’s Begin Road, calling on the government to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza since October 7, at a scaled-down version of the weekly demonstration after the IDF issued restrictions on gatherings in central Israel, following the assassination of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut yesterday.
Hundreds of protesters can be seen on the busy intersection near the IDF’s Kirya base in Tel Aviv nonetheless.
Relatives of hostages held in Gaza and anti-government protesters also gathered in locations around Israel, including Jerusalem, Eilat, and outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea.
In Jerusalem, protesters hold a vigil for the hostages, blowing shofars at the end of the event ahead of the upcoming Jewish New Year.
