Tel Aviv witnessed powerful scenes as families of Israeli hostages and victims of the October 7 attack addressed a press conference, calling for urgent action to secure a Gaza truce deal and the safe return of captives.
Their emotional plea came after nationwide protests demanding accountability and a stronger government response.
Lishay Miran-Lavi, wife of hostage Omri Miran, declared, “This day is just the beginning.
We draw strength from the public's support and intend to escalate and intensify the struggle from here until all the hostages are home.” Demonstrations across Israel highlighted growing frustration with leadership, as calls for early elections and nationwide strikes gather momentum.
Families vowed to continue mobilizing public pressure until every hostage is released, intensifying one of Israel’s most volatile domestic movements in years.
Hundreds of protesters flooded Manhattan on Saturday in solidarity with Palestinians, demanding an end to the Israel-Hamas war and the U.S. halt military aid to Israel. Over 200 organizations joined the rally, “Stop Starving Gaza: Mass March for Humanity,” raising alarms over starvation and child suffering. The protest echoed UN warnings of escalating famine in Gaza, as Israel announced new offensives and relocation plans. Meanwhile, Israeli families of hostages staged a strike, urging action after nearly two years of war.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed striking deep inside Yemen, targeting a Houthi-controlled energy infrastructure site in the capital Sanaa. The long-range strike, conducted from nearly 2,000 kilometers away, was described as a direct response to repeated Houthi attacks on Israel, including missile and UAV launches aimed at Israeli territory. The IDF accused the Houthis of operating as an Iranian proxy, exploiting shipping lanes and global trade routes to conduct hostile operations. Military officials stressed that Israel will continue to act decisively against threats “wherever required,” signaling further escalation if attacks persist. This marks one of the deepest IDF strikes in recent years, highlighting Israel’s expanding reach against Iranian-backed groups beyond its immediate borders. The strike underscores growing regional tensions as Israel seeks to deter attacks from Yemen while maintaining pressure on Tehran and its allies.
