Massive protests erupted across Israel following the release of a chilling video by Hamas showing captive Israeli soldier Liri Elbag. The footage intensified public outrage, leading to widespread demonstrations calling for a prisoner swap deal. Thousands of protesters took to the streets in cities like Tel Aviv, Al-Quds, and Haifa, demanding Netanyahu's government prioritize the release of captives. At least four protesters were arrested outside Netanyahu's residence as tensions escalated. Families of captives organized sit-ins and blocked roads, accusing the government of indifference to their plight and prolonging the war. As political leaders like Benny Gantz criticized Netanyahu, the urgency for a prisoner exchange deal has reached a boiling point.
