Activists for the hostages, including relatives of captives, embark on day 3 of a protest march to Jerusalem, leaving Shoresh and walking in blistering heat with signs calling for a deal to free the remaining abductees from Hamas captivity.

Joining the march are dozens of religious left-wing activists who where shirts emphasizing the Jewish commandment of redemption of captives.

The march is expected to reach the capital tomorrow evening.
