The Hostages and Missing Families Forum calls on the public to gather at Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square ahead of the expected release of Romi Gonen, Emily Damari and Doron Steinbrecher.
The forum calls on the public to assemble at the square from 4 p.m.
“Crowds of Israelis will come to be together at Hostages Square, to support the families of the hostages and to watch the historic and emotional moments that will be projected on the giant screen,” the forum says.
“Now, more than ever, we need the people of Israel with us, until the last hostage. Nobody will be left behind,” the forum says.
The military does not know yet when the three women will be released from Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip today, but says it is already prepared to receive them.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
