Amid escalating tensions, Israelis held a 'Day of Disruption' urging their government to secure the release of hostages in Gaza. Doron Steinbrecher, who endured 471 days of captivity, passionately hopes for the swift freedom of the remaining captives.

Steinbrecher recounted pleading for her life and expressed concern for around 20 still-living hostages. The recent conflict originating from the October 2023 attack by Hamas, has caused significant casualties and sufferings.

Despite Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's pledge to dismantle Hamas, internal and external pressures are mounting for an urgent resolution. Weekly protests demand actions to end the conflict and release hostages.
