Protesters in Tel Aviv demanded a deal to free Israeli hostages in Gaza after the bodies of six captives were retrieved, raising fears for other hostages’ safety. Daniel, a protester, warned that continued conflict without a ceasefire-hostage deal would result in more deaths. The IDF’s preliminary forensic tests suggest the six hostages were shot, but it’s unclear if gunshot wounds caused their deaths. Four additional bodies, believed to be Hamas militants, were found without evidence of shooting. Daniel emphasized the risks of forceful rescue operations.
