Protesters march in silence to PM’s residence in light of deadly Hezbollah attack

Around a thousand protesters in Jerusalem are marching in silence to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official residence, protesting his government and demanding an immediate hostage deal.

The marchers are refraining from chanting slogans in light of Hezbollah’s deadly rocket attack on the Druze-majority town of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights, which killed 11 and injured some 30 others.

“This government has the privilege to do one thing and one thing only, to rescue the hostages and go home in silence… We deserve a government that cares for everyone, Jews and Arabs,” says Tomer Lev, an activist leading the march.

“We will walk in complete silence in order to show this government exactly what they need to do,” he continues.

At the coming rally outside Netanyahu’s home, protesters will partake in a minute of silence for those murdered in the Hezbollah attack.
