Protesters in Israel do strike at the national level to demand fire and the release of Hostages from Gaza

The protesters in Israel participated in a strike at the national level on Sunday to demand an agreement that would result in a high fire with Hamas and the release of hostages that remain in Gaza. He “Detention Day” that blocked roads and closed businesses, marked an escalation in the growing frustration of the population After 22 months of war.

The police who responded to Sunday’s demonstrations criticized crowds with water cannons and made dozens of arrests. In one case, the officers prevented several protesters from trying to enter the Central Highway of Ayalon in Tel Aviv, which led to a confrontation between them during which a protester was arrested by force, according to News themezone. Police also confiscated the protesters team.

The “Detention Day” was organized by two groups that represent some of the families of hostages and disconsolate families, weeks after the militant groups published videos of hostages and Israel announced Plans for a new military offensive In some of the most populated areas of Gaza.

The protesters, who fear that even more the struggles can endanger the 50 hostages that are believed to remain in Gaza, only about 20 of which are believed to be alive, sung: “We do not win a war on the bodies of the hostages.”

The protesters gathered in dozens of points throughout Israel, including the houses of external politicians, the military headquarters and on the main roads, where they were sprayed with water cannons while blocked lanes and turned on spiders that locked paths with smoke. Some restaurants and theaters were closed in solidarity.

Police said they had arrested 32 as part of the national demonstration, one of the most fierce from the uproar More than six hostages found dead in Gaza last September.

“The military pressure does not bring the hostages back, just kills them,” said former Hosta Arbel Yehoud in a demonstration in Tel Aviv’s hostages. “The only way to bring them back is through a deal, all at once, without games.”

“Today, we stop everything to save and bring back to hostages and soldiers. “Today, we stop that everything joins: right, left, center and everything else.”

The protesters at the intersections of the road delivered yellow ribbons, said the symbol that represents the hostages, the hostages and the forum of missing families, which organized the stop.

Although the largest union in Israel, Histadrut, ultimately, did not join Sunday’s action, the attacks of this magnitude are relatively rare in Israel. Many companies and municipalities decided to attack.

Even so, the end of the conflict does not appear close. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded the immediate release of the hostages, but is balancing competitive pressures, tormented by the mutiny potential within his coalition.

Israeli leaders criticize manifestations

Netanyahu went to the protests on Sunday at a cabinet meeting, saying they were benefiting Hamas.

“Those who call today for the end of war without the elimination of Hamas are not only hardening the position of Hamas and delaying the liberation of our hostages, they also ensure that the horrors of October 7 are repeated and that we will have to fight against an endless war,” said the prime minister.

The extreme right members of their cabinet insist that they will not support any agreement that allows Hamas to retain power. The last time Israel agreed to stop the fire that released the hostages, threatened to overthrow the Netanyahu government.

The Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, described on Sunday the arrest of “a bad and harmful campaign that plays in the hands of Hamas, buries the hostages in the tunnels and tries to get Israel to surrender to his enemies and endanger his safety and future.”

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, in a statement, accused protesters of trying to “weaken Israel.” Like Smotrich, he said the strike “strengthens Hamas and delays the return of the hostages.”

The Gaza Ministry of Health, led by Hamas, reported that 47 people were killed and at least 226 were injured throughout the territory in the last 24 hours alone. Meanwhile, hospitals and witnesses in Gaza reported that at least 17 help search engines had been killed by Israeli forces on Sunday, including nine help trucks near the Morag corridor. The death toll among the Palestinians Waiting for food and another help in Gaza has climbed this summer, causing protests worldwide as hunger and malnutrition Run in the enclave.

Hamza Ashour said it was right north of the corridor, waiting for a convoy, when Israeli snipers fired, first to disperse the crowds, then from tanks hundreds of meters away.

He saw two people with gunshot wounds, one in the chest and others on the shoulder.

“It is to run this risk or wait and see my family starving,” he said. “There is no other option.”

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which runs the distribution points, said there were no shots on Sunday “in or near” its sites, which are at the end of the help trucks.

The Israel Army did not immediately answer the questions about strikes in the three areas.

Israel’s air and land war has already killed tens of thousands of people in Gaza and displaced most of the population. The United Nations warns that the levels of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza are at their highest point since the war began.

The attack by Hamas in 2023 killed about 1,200 people in Israel. The retaliation offensive of Israel has killed 61,897 people in Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health, which does not specify how many were combatants or civilians, but says that around half were women and children.

2 more children die from causes related to malnutrition

On Sunday, two children died of causes related to malnutrition in Gaza, bringing the number of deaths of such causes in the last 24 hours to seven, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health. The total number of deaths related to hunger has increased to 251, including 110 children, said the Ministry of Health, which is part of the government led by Hamas and attended by medical professionals. The UN and independent experts consider it the most reliable source of the victims. Israel disputes its figures but has not provided their own.

While the protesters in Israel demanded a high fire, Israel began to prepare for an invasion of the city of Gaza and other populated parts of the Sitiad Strip, destined to destroy Hamas.

The military body that coordinates its humanitarian aid to Gaza said Sunday that the supply of tents to the territory would resume. Cogat said it would allow the United Nations to resume the import of tents and take refuge teams to Gaza before plans to forcefully evacuate people in the fighting areas “for their protection.”

Most of the assistance has been blocked to enter Gaza since Israel imposed a total blockade in March after a high fire collapsed when Israel restarted its offensive. Since then, deliveries have partially resumed, although help organizations say that the flow is well below what is needed. Some have accused Israel of “weapons help” through blockages and rules that say they convert humanitarian assistance into a tool of their political and military objectives.

The Israeli air attacks hit Yemen’s capital on Sunday, intensifying strikes to the hutis backed by Iran, who, since the war began, has fired missiles to Israel and went to ships in the Red Sea.

Both the IDF and a television station managed by Houthi in Yemen announced the strikes. Al-Masirah Television said they went to an energy plant in the southern district of Sanhan, causing a fire and hitting it on service, said Yemeni station. Israel’s army said Sunday’s strikes went to the energy infrastructure that said it was being used by the hutis, and launched in response to missiles and drones aimed at Israel.

While some projectiles have violated their missile defenses, especially during their 12 -day war with Iran in June, Israel has intercepted the vast majority of missiles released since Yemen.

US blocks Visitors from Gaza

The United States Department of State announced on Saturday that it would stop issuing visitors visas for people from Gaza.

“All visitors visor for people from Gaza are being arrested while we carry out a complete and exhaustive review of the process and the procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days,” the department wrote in a publication on social networks.

Some humanitarian groups have condemned the pause because these visas can be issued to people who need medical treatment abroad, BBC News, a partner of News themezone, reported.

The non -profit organization Palestine Children’s Relief Fund said in a statement to BBC News that the decision “will have a devastating and irreversible impact on our ability to bring injured children and with critical diseases from Gaza to the United States for a medical treatment that saves lives.”
