Hundreds of thousands of protesters have gathered around Hostages Square in Tel Aviv late Sunday, with organizers claiming the number of people in the crowd has grown to more than 300,000. In one of the largest coordinated demonstrations since the beginning of the Gaza war nearly two years ago, protesters blocked major roads, closed private businesses, and staged rallies in big cities across Israel. The nationwide grassroots strike and widespread protests grew over the course of Sunday as protesters demand the government secure the release of 50 hostages still in Gaza.
