The families of 229 hostages seized by Hamas stepped up calls on Friday for Israel's government to outline plans for their rescue.
Israeli soldiers move in a convoy at an undisclosed location bordering the Gaza Strip on October 8, 2023.
With the families expressing anger over “absolute uncertainty regarding the fate of the hostages held, who were also subject to the heavy bombings”, hundreds gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday, threatening to stage street protests if there was no response, The Tel Aviv rally followed one of the most violent nights of the war with the military hammering Gaza with all-night bombing raids that included the use of munitions that hit tunnels and underground bunkers.
“The families need to know what is the plan because of what happened yesterday. This is something that puts hostages at risk,” Rubinstein said.
