In Israel, large protests have erupted demanding an end to military actions in Gaza and the release of captives. Israeli police have arrested numerous demonstrators and employed water cannons amid these nationwide protests, which are among the most significant since the deaths of captives in Gaza. Activists and bereaved families joined the demonstrations to voice their concerns that military escalation jeopardizes the lives of captives. Protesters emphasized the need for negotiations to secure the safe return of hostages, rejecting the notion that military force is an effective solution.
Thousands of protesters in Israel are demanding an end to the Gaza war and a deal to free captives, as military attacks intensify on Gaza City.
Israeli police made dozens of arrests and used water cannons on participants during one of the fiercest demonstrations since captives were found dead last September.
Protesters fear military actions endanger the lives of approximately 50 captives believed to be in Gaza, with only about 20 likely alive.
Demonstrators chanted that military pressure does not return hostages and only leads to further violence, calling instead for a deal to secure their release.
