Israeli protesters blocked roads in Tel Aviv and elsewhere in the country, holding up pictures of hostages still held in Gaza and calling for the war to end.

Hamas captured 251 hostages on Oct. 7, 2023, in the terrorist attack that triggered the current war. Most have been released during previous ceasefires. Israel has managed to rescue only eight hostages alive. Fifty remain in Gaza, and Israeli officials believe around 20 are still alive.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza has this morning reported at least 20 deaths following an Israeli strike on the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis. The ministry says that medics, patients and journalists are among those who have died, and says that treatment of patients in the hospital has been impacted.
