Thousands of Israelis gathered in central Tel Aviv on Saturday, calling for the release of the remaining hostages held in Gaza.
The protest marked the first major demonstration since the ceasefire between Israel and Iran took effect on 24 June. Authorities had banned public gatherings during the 12-day flare-up, which began in the occupied West Bank, citing security concerns.
Crowds packed what has become known as “Hostages Square,” waving Israeli flags and displaying photos of captives still still held in Gaza.
“I now hope for an end to the war in Gaza, because nothing more can happen there,” said 80-year-old protester Dany Falk, speaking to AFP.
