Families of hostages block humanitarian aid trucks from entering Gaza

Protests are currently taking place across Israel, calling for the release of hostages who have been held captive in the Gaza Strip for 110 days.

Several hundred demonstrators are obstructing the passage of trucks carrying humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip at the Kerem Shalom checkpoint. The protesters, comprising relatives of the deceased and abducted, as well as evacuees from border areas, are demanding a halt to humanitarian aid supplies to Gaza until the hostages are released.

Demonstrations demanding the release of hostages are also underway in Tel Aviv, at the Raanana intersection, at the Karkur intersection, and at various other points.

In Jerusalem, a women's demonstration is taking place near a complex of government buildings.
