Hundreds of protesters demanding a deal to free hostages held by Hamas block Namir Road in Tel Aviv, snarling traffic in the north of the coastal city.

Groups have marched from various neighborhoods to converge on the key interchange with Rokach Boulevard.

Protesters chant, “Why are they still in Gaza?” referring to the hostages, as motorists honk their approval.
