Families of hostages held in the Gaza Strip build a sukkah in front of the Kirya Defense Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv on the eve of the Sukkot festival.
Instead of hanging traditional decorations, relatives create paper chains of photos of their loved ones who are in captivity.
Speaking to Channel 12 news at the sukkah, Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is held hostage, urges the government to sign a deal to end the war and “bring our loved ones home,” adding it is the most moral thing they can do right now.
