(Reuters) – Protesters in Israel blocked a main road leading to Jerusalem on Sunday as part of a nationwide strike demanding the government to secure a hostage deal and end the war on Gaza.
Drone footage showed protesters blocking one of the main roads leading to Jerusalem and disrupting the flow of traffic.
Thousands of businesses and individuals across the country have joined the strike, which includes protest and acts of disruption across Israel.
The Gaza war began when Hamas launched an attack on southern Israel, killing more than 1,200 people and taking 251 others hostage.
Israel's subsequent offensive has since killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials.
Israeli officials say 50 hostages still remain in Gaza, only 20 of whom are believed to be alive.
