It has now been 100 days since Hamas carried out a major attack on Israel and kidnapped people. Hundreds of Israeli businesses went on strike on Sunday in solidarity with the hostages and observed 100 seconds of silence in Tel Aviv.
The Histadrut, an umbrella organization for trade unions, had called a 100-minute strike. According to the news site The Times of Israel Never before have so many businesses and shops closed their doors in protest.
In Tel Aviv, thousands of people gathered to observe a minute of silence for 100 seconds for the lives of the hostages. Hostage families and other sympathizers also held a 24-hour demonstration in the Israeli port city. They are angry with the government because it has not yet been possible to release their relatives.
According to Israel, an estimated 136 people remain detained by Hamas, which launched a war by attacking Israel on October 7 last year.
