On October 7, 2023, Hamas fighters launched a surprise raid on a village and concert venue in southern Israel, triggering the latest round of conflict in the Middle East. 🎸🏰
During the attack, more than 200 hostages were seized by Hamas. As of now, 117 have been released, while 35 have been confirmed dead. The fate of the remaining hostages remains unknown, leaving families and communities in distress. 😟🕯️
In response to the ongoing crisis, major Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, have been the sites of weekly anti-war demonstrations every Saturday. Protesters are calling for an immediate ceasefire and the safe return of the remaining hostages, hoping for peace and resolution in these turbulent times. ✌️🕊️
