Over 300 vehicles are taking part in a convoy urging the government to reach a deal to free hostages held in Gaza, the Hostage and Missing Families Forum say in a statement.
The vehicles fly yellow flags and display pictures of hostages taken from Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7, driving from Hostages Square in Tel Aviv to the southern community, with the aim of bringing an “end to the abandonment” of the hostages, the statement reads.
At several points along the road, supporters of the hostage families rally to show their support, the forum says.
