Israelis protest demanding immediate hostages release, 9 months after Hamas attack

Hundreds of Israelis took to the streets on Sunday, blocking a main Tel Aviv junction and other major intersections across the country to demand the immediate release of hostages held by Hamas. The protests, which marked nine months since the Hamas attack, also aimed to put pressure on the Israeli government to reach a hostage deal with Hamas.

Demonstrators picketed at the homes of government ministers, calling for an end to the ongoing war and the resignation of the current government.

"I'm here to support families of kidnapped Israelis in Gaza. I'm here to oppose my government and to bring this war to an end, hopefully to bring elections and to bring this criminal government down as soon as possible," said protestor Uri Schachter.

The demonstrations caused disruptions to rush hour traffic and public transportation, with police intervening to remove protesters at some locations.
