Thousands of students at middle schools and high schools across the country hold walkouts in a call for the hostages to be freed.
The protests are the initiative of student councils and mark the second birthday in captivity of hostage Matan Zangauker.
His mother, Einav, speaks at a protest held by the students at Kfar Hayarok, north of Tel Aviv.
“We should all make a wish that [Matan] will be the last hostage to celebrate a birthday in captivity,” she says.
At the Blich High School in Ramat Gan, students hold banners reading “we won’t learn to live with this” and “we are sorry you aren’t home.”
According to Channel 12 news, students at some 200 schools are participating in the action.
