Protests erupted in Haifa, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv, demanding the negotiation of a prisoner exchange deal to release "Israeli" captives held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

 

A demonstration was held in front of the "Israeli" Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv, demanding the resignation of the occupation's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and calling for early elections.

 

Hebrew Channel 12 reported that protesters against Netanyahu's government had blocked the main “Bonei Ayalon” Street in Tel Aviv - with the families of the held captives setting fires in front of the Ministry of Defense.
