Relatives of the Gaza hostages block the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv during a protest calling for a hostage release and ceasefire deal.

Standing in the middle of central Israel’s main traffic artery, the families display a large banner reading “Never again is now” and hold up images of their loved ones, who were taken captive by invading terrorists during the October 7, 2023, Hamas onslaught, more than 450 days ago.
