Israeli families demand safe return of hostages captured by Hamas

HUNDREDS of protesters in Tel Aviv demonstrated outside of Israel’s defence ministry on Saturday (October 14), demanding the safe return of hostages held by Hamas terrorists. Israel has vowed to annihilate Hamas after they burst out of Gaza a week ago and stormed through towns and villages, killing 1,300 Israelis, mainly civilians, and making off with scores of hostages. Since then Israel has placed the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, home to 2.3 million Palestinians, under a total siege and bombarded it with unprecedented air strikes. Israel has said it has confirmed the identities of 120 that are being held by Hamas captors and has informed their next of kin. As Israel prepares for an all-out ground assault on the Gaza Strip, family members of people missing since Hamas’s October 7 attack are demanding the government prioritise rescuing the hostages.
