STORYLINE:
Crowds of protesters came out for the weekly demonstration in Tel Aviv on Saturday demanding ceasefire and immediate release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
Israel has blocked food, medicine, fuel and other supplies from entering Gaza since March 2, saying it’s trying to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages and disarming.
It also shattered a ceasefire deal with Hamas, relaunching bombardment across Gaza and seizing large swaths of the territory. Rights groups have called the blockade a “starvation tactic” and a potential war crime.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said late Wednesday Israel was confident that 21 of the 59 remaining hostages are still alive but that there was “doubt” about three others.
An Israeli official said the three, who he did not identify, are considered alive until there is evidence proving otherwise. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive details.
If there is “new information being kept from us, give it to us immediately,” the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, an advocacy group, said Wednesday.
Hamas militants killed some 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 during their cross-border attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023. Elkana Bohbot and dozens of others were captured from a music festival, where more than 300 people were killed.
Israel’s offensive has killed more than 52,000 people in Gaza, many of them women and children, according to Palestinian health officials. The officials do not distinguish between combatants and civilians in their count.
