🔥 Every Saturday, cities across Israel erupt in waves of chants and candlelight as thousands gather to demand action for hostages still held by Hamas since October 7, 2023. The conflict, sparked by a deadly raid on a music festival and village in southern Israel, left over 200 people captured—117 freed, 35 confirmed dead, and dozens unaccounted for.
