As protesters calling for a hostage deal escalate their tactics, an activist says an “extreme act” is necessary to save the 48 captives.
Demonstrators this morning have torched bins in Jerusalem, in what police said damaged a car and caused nearby residents to be evacuated, and gained access to the roof of the National Library, near the Knesset.
Police are attempting to remove them.
“We must commit an extreme act so that someone is reminded [to act],” one of the National Library protesters, Yael Kuperman, tells the Kan public broadcaster. “A state cannot abandon its citizens. The National Library overlooks the Knesset. We want to be seen.”

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
