Family members of hostages held by Hamas call for a hostage exchange deal to be made immediately, during a demonstration under Azrieli Bridge in Tel Aviv.
After reading out the names of every hostage who remains in Gaza, the protests organizers instruct the crowd to begin a march encompassing the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv.
Many of the demonstrators, however, begin marching northward on Begin Street. Police eventually block the march, and protesters turn around and begin marching down Kaplan. The demonstrators then congregate outside the Kirya’s south entrance before marching back to Azrieli Bridge.
At the head of the march, Ayala Metzger, the daughter-in-law of the hostage Yoram Metzger, calls to end the war in exchange for the release of hostages.
Protest organizers say 12 demonstrators have been arrested for attempting to block the Ayalon Freeway.
