Protest calling for the release of captives taking place in Tel Aviv
The Times of Israel is reporting that hundreds of Israelis are participating in a run around the Defense Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv, demanding the return of captives from Gaza.
The media outlet reported that the runs have occurred daily since a protest encampment around the ministry compound was erected last Saturday.
It said the crowd appears to be larger today than on previous runs, and participants are carrying posters of the captives who are held in Gaza.
