Police forces try to remove hostage families and protesters who are blocking traffic on Tel Aviv’s Ayalon Highway, banging drums, blowing on bullhorns, lighting fires, and calling for a deal before a Rafah operation.
Some protesters hold a banner referring to Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, reading “Never Again?”
Hundreds of people are also standing on Begin Road, blocking the major Tel Aviv artery, outside the main entrance to the Defense Ministry, and calling for a deal.
