WATCH: Families of Hamas hostages kick off 24 hours of events to mark 100 days of captivity

Events to mark 100 days since Hamas-led terrorists slaughtered some 1,200 people in southern Israel and kidnapped around 240 others have begun in Tel Aviv.

Tens of thousands gather at Hostages Square, where the crowd spills out onto Shaul Hamelech Boulevard.

A livestream of the event is here:

Organizers announce that numerous world leaders have sent messages of support that will be read out over the coming day. They also say from the stage that the event is “historic” and unprecedented anywhere in the world.

The crowd is also told that all of Israel’s leaders have been invited to speak, including President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
