On Sunday, August 17, thousands of people staged protests in 300 different locations across Israel, including the cities of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa, demanding an end to the ongoing war.
The demonstrations were led by individuals whose family members have been detained by Hamas. Clashes occurred between police and civilians during the protests, resulting in the arrest of 38 people by security forces.
Protesters called for the release of detainees and an immediate end to the conflict. However, the government has stated that it is preparing for a new military operation in Gaza and is considering a prolonged war effort
