Thousands of Israelis demonstrated, demanding a prisoner exchange deal with Hamas and an end to the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip.
Demonstrations took place in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem after Israeli forces surrounded a location where captive Matan Zangauker was being held in the Gaza Strip, and the demonstrations emphasized that "the enemy will not be able to recover him alive."
In Tel Aviv, thousands participated in the demonstration, including families of Israeli prisoners, denouncing the failure of Benjamin Netanyahu's government to reach a deal to restore their sons.
Demonstrators held up signs bearing slogans calling for an agreement to release the prisoners immediately and for a halt to the war on the Gaza Strip.
