TEL AVIV, Israel – (AP) Tens of thousands of Israelis have surged into the streets in an outpouring of grief and anger after six more hostages were found dead in Gaza.
It appears to be the the largest such demonstration in 11 months of war.
Demonstrators are urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a cease-fire deal to bring the remaining captives home.
Israel’s largest trade union has called a general strike for Monday to further pressure the government.
It’s the first such strike since the war began, and it’s expected to disrupt major sectors of the economy including banking, health care, and the country’s main airport.
