The protesters, numbering in the hundreds, have begun to march, chanting, “We won’t stop until they’re all home!” above a steady drumbeat.
Israeli flags are interspersed between signs reading “Mom here” and “Who are we if they’re still there?”
The protesters are on their way to Paris Square, where they will be addressed by several speakers, in the first of two rallies that are not formally affiliated, but have significant overlap among attendees.
A swathe of Jerusalem’s King George Street is closed off as protesters make their way to the square.
The second demonstration, which will take place shortly after this one concludes, will be led by the organization Safeguarding Our Shared Home, which organized the protests against the judicial overhaul in Jerusalem last year.
