Marking nine months of Gaza war, protesters block highways across Israel, calling for a cease-fire and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down.
Marking nine months since the Israel-Hamas war, Israeli protesters blocked highways across the country Sunday, calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down and pushing for a cease-fire to bring back scores of hostages held by Hamas. The demonstrations come as long-running efforts to broker a truce gained momentum in the last few days when Hamas dropped a key demand for an Israeli commitment to end the war.
Abdel-Hadi Ghabaeen, an uncle of one of the deceased, said they had been working to secure the delivery of humanitarian aid and commercial shipments through the crossing. He said he saw soldiers detain them on Saturday, and that the bodies bore signs of beatings, with one having a broken leg. The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports.
