Weekly Tel Aviv vigil memorializes slain Gaza children

As they have every Saturday for several weeks, about 200 left-wing activists stand in silence on Tel Aviv’s Kaplan Street, outside the IDF headquarters’ southern entrance, holding candles and pictures of children killed by the IDF in Gaza since Israel renewed hostilities there on March 18.
Each picture states the child’s name, as well as the date and place of death.
The silent protest is in stark contrast with the noisier, contemporaneous anti-government demonstrations at Habima Square and Begin Road, on either end of Kaplan Street.
Some protesters marching from Habima to Begin via Kaplan ask to join the Kaplan activists.
