Police say they have reopened Tel Aviv’s Ayalon Highway after hostages’ families blocked the northbound route for around half an hour.
Families set up a table with empty chairs representing the 134 hostages that remain in the Gaza Strip, light smoke bombs and fires while calling for the release of their loved ones.
