The police, who responded to the demonstrations on Sunday, bombed the crowds with water cannons and carried out dozens of arrests. In one case, the officers prevented many demonstrators from trying to storm the Ayalon Central Road in Tel Aviv, which led to a confrontation between them during which a protester was forcibly arrested. The police also confiscated the equipment of the demonstrators.

The “Stopping Day” was organized by two groups representing some families of the hostages and the bereaved families, after weeks of the issuance of militant groups of hostages and Israel announced Plans of a new military attack In some of the most overcrowded areas in Gaza.

The demonstrators, who fear the fighting more than that may offer fifty hostages who believe that they are staying in Gaza, and they only about 20 of them believe they are alive, chanted: “We do not win a war against the hostages of the hostages.”

The demonstrators gathered in dozens of points throughout Israel, including the homes of external politicians, the military headquarters, and on the main highways, as they were sprayed with water cannons while preventing the corridors and lighting the fire overwhelmed by the roads in smoke.

Israeli leaders criticize the demonstrations

Netanyahu addressed the protests on Sunday at the Council of Ministers, saying they were benefiting from Hamas.

The Prime Minister said: “Those who call today to end the war without eliminating Hamas not only crucify the position of Hamas and delay the release of our hostages, but also guarantee that the horrors of October 7 and that we will have to fight an endless war.”

The right -wing members of the Council of Ministers insist that they will not support any deal that allows you to keep power. The last time that Israel agreed to the ceasefire that issued the hostages, threatened to topple the Netanyahu government.

On Sunday, Finance Minister Paisalel Sottic described “a bad and harmful campaign that plays in the hands of Hamas, buried the hostages in the tunnels and attempts to obtain Israel to surrender to its enemies and endanger its security and future.”

Hamza Asmour said that he was directly north of the corridor, waiting for a convoy, when the Israeli snipers fired first to disperse the crowds, then from tanks hundreds of meters away.

He saw two people suffering from fireworks – one in his chest and others in the shoulder.

“Either you carry this danger or waiting and seeing my family dies from hunger,” he said. “There is no other option.”

The Gaza Humanitarian Corporation, which runs the distribution points, said that there was no shooting on Sunday “in or near” its sites, which sit at the end of the auxiliary truck roads.

Kojat said it would allow the United Nations to resume importing tents and shelter equipment in Gaza before plans to evacuate people by force from the combat areas “to protect them.”

Since then, it has been partially resumed, although relief organizations say the flow is much lower than what is required. Some accused Israel of “weapons aid” through the blockade and the rules that they say transforms humanitarian aid into a tool for its political and military goals.
