Jerusalem protest organizers say 100,000 in attendance, making it largest rally since Oct. 7
Over 100,000 people are gathered in front of the Knesset for what Hebrew media reports is the largest protest in Jerusalem since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.
Crowd size estimates come from protest organizers.
The event, accompanied by a plethora of smaller anti-government protests occurring simultaneously throughout the city, marks six months since the Hamas invasion of October 7.
Ynet reports that protesters plan to construct a “tent city” at the Knesset following the rally, continuing the protest throughout the coming week.
