The families of the hostages held by terrorists in Gaza call on the public to rally with them tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, under the banner “120 days underground with no air: The hostages are in mortal danger!”
Most, if not all, of the hostages kidnapped during the onslaught on October 7 are believed to be held captive in Hamas’s labyrinth of tunnels beneath Gaza.
Speakers at the event will include Lishay Miran-Lavie, whose husband Omri Miran was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nahal Oz, Hadasa Lazar, whose brother Shlomo Mansour was kidnapped from Kibbutz Kissufim, and Carmit Palty Katzi, whose brother Elad Katzir was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz.
Former spokespeople from the Israel Defense Forces will also speak at the rally.
The rally comes amid advanced negotiations for a new deal that would see the release of hostages in exchange for a pause in fighting, increased humanitarian aid for Gaza, and the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
