Families of the more than 240 hostages held by terror groups in Gaza sleep outside the military headquarters in Tel Aviv.

The move is part of stepped-up protests demanding the government and military do more to secure the return of the captives. The families are demanding that Israel refuse any ceasefire that doesn’t include the release of their loved ones.

“We won’t go home until they return home,” Meirav Leshem Gore, whose daughter Romi is a hostage, tells the Ynet news site.

“We invite everyone to come and be with us here, to be together,” she says.

Large protests are expected in Tel Aviv this evening.
