Around 1,000 protesters sing, shout, and block traffic on Begin Street in Tel Aviv calling for the immediate release of all remaining hostages in Gaza.

To the deafening beat of drums, they vow not to abandon those still held by the Iran-backed terror group.

Posters depict the six hostages whose bodies were retrieved Saturday by the IDF, as well as those still in captivity in the coastal enclave.

Posters call for “Values before everything” and charge that the government of Israel is acting against the nation.
