‘We are suffering here so much and we are going out to show it’: Grandson of Israeli captive
The Israeli military says it’s recovered the bodies of six captives from a tunnel under Rafah, in southern Gaza.
Hamas says they were killed in an Israeli strike.
But Israel says they were found with bullet wounds to the head and other parts of the body.
One of dead captives has been identified as Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an Israeli-American.
His family confirmed addressed last month’s Democratic National Convention and the United Nations.
They’ve been among the most high-profile Israelis lobbying the government to bring home the captives.
Pressure is growing on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree a ceasefire deal leading to the release of the remaining captives.
Relatives of those held in Gaza have joined other protesters at a rally outside Netanyahu’s office in West Jerusalem.
They’re demanding a deal to free the remaining 97 Israelis believed to be in Gaza.
Around a third of them are presumed dead.
A general strike has been called for Monday to protest against the Israeli government.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid has called for government shutdown.
The strike on Monday is also expected to impact Israel’s main airport in Tel Aviv.
Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut has more.
Daniel Lifshitz is the grandson of retired Israeli journalist, Oded Lifshitz who was taken captive during the October 7th attack.
He says the international community must pressure the Israeli government and Hamas to reach a ceasefire deal.
