Contrails in the shapes of ribbons are being created in the skies over much of the country, in what reports say is a gesture for the hostages remaining captive in Gaza.

Videos and pictures posted online show the ribbons in the skies over the Tel Aviv area, Jerusalem, and various areas around southern and northern Israel.

It’s not immediately clear who is behind the effort or how many airplanes are used.
