Families require military measures not to be taken in the Gaza regions where their loved ones can be held.
Physical confrontations took place outside the Israeli Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv between the security forces and the family members of the captives held in Gaza during a rally calling for their release, while the Israeli government appears on the point of climbing its genocidal war with a complete occupation of the besieged enclave.
Demonstrators surrounding the Kirya, the central military seat of Israel, demanded on Wednesday that the Israeli government did not continue its plan because they were rejected by the police.
“Time is exhausted – our loved ones can no longer wait,” said the hostage and familiar families in a statement. “We put them home now, we lose them for good. There are moments in history when we have to get up and do what is good – that’s this moment. ”
The families of Israeli captives have intensified their criticisms of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in recent months in the midst of major demonstrations across the country, while the widening of the military field and the deadly bombardment on Palestinian territory continues to release their loved ones in danger.
Netanyahu’s plan for Gaza goes against national opinion, international and even its own soldiers.
The demonstrators, including the father of the captive Guy Illouz, tried to make his way in the entrance to the military seat as shown in this video verified by Tel Aviv Tribune.

Translation: Police violently attacks the demonstrators outside the doors of Kirya demonstrating the release of the hostages.
It is estimated that 1,139 people were killed during the October 7 attacks led by Hamas against southern Israel, and more than 200 were taken in captivity. About fifty captives remain in Gaza, of which at least 20 are supposed to be still alive. In the war in Israel in Gaza, at least 61,158 Palestinians were killed and 151,442 wounded.
Families also sent a message directly to the chief of staff of the Israeli army Eyal Zamir on Wednesday: “You know that this war has followed its course, and the only way to the real victory is a single agreement that brings everyone back to the house.”
The local police chief asked that family members of the captives speak to him, saying: “We understand your frustration.” He admitted that they could protest, but asked him to leave the police quiet.
The demonstrators were trying to enter the headquarters, demanding that military measures be not taken in areas where captives are suspected of being located in Gaza.
Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Wednesday that Iitzik Horn, the father of the Israeli captive horn Eitan, said that the families of captives held in Gaza were against the expansion of the war against Gaza.
He would have questioned the motivations of Netanyahu, as the establishment of the defense of Israel said that an expansion would endanger the life of captives.
“I expect the Prime Minister to speak to the public, explains the implications of this idea in the country and the price we pay,” said Itzik Horn, according to Haaretz. “We are the people. I want the Prime Minister to explain why he wants to kill my son. ”
Meanwhile, there were minor clashes during the anti-war demonstration organized by standing together, the largest Arab-Israeli base movement in Israel, in the Gaza envelope, located 7 km (4.3 miles) of the Gaza border. A demonstrator was arrested and flour was dispersed on the police of the exposure brought by the demonstrators.
A previous video recorded from the junction of Yad Mordchai, a Kibbutz in southern Israel, showed standing activists gathering to walk to the Gaza border.
