Israel’s main labor union called for a nationwide general strike on Sunday following the recovery of the bodies of six hostages from the Gaza Strip. The discovery was made amid ongoing large-scale military operations targeting both Palestinian civilians and fighters in Gaza.
The bodies were reportedly found on Saturday in an underground tunnel in the Rafah area, located in southern Gaza. The tragic news has intensified the situation in Israel, leading to widespread protests.
In response, tens of thousands of Israelis took to the streets in Tel Aviv and other cities, demanding government action and a deal to secure the release of hostages still held in Gaza. The situation has escalated tensions within the country, leading to the declaration of the strike and increased public pressure on the government.
