    Families and friends of about 240 captives held by Hamas in Gaza call for their return as they begin a five-day "March for the Hostages" from Tel Aviv to the Prime Minister's Office in al-Quds, in 'Tel Aviv', Israel, Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2023. (AP)

Families of Israeli captives, along with thousands of supporters, marched towards al-Quds on Friday, intensifying pressure on the government to secure the release of the captives. This comes nearly six weeks after the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. 

The protest started in 'Tel Aviv' three days ago. As the settlers started ascending the foothills toward al-Quds, the police blocked off sections of the main highway.

They held photos of their captured family and friends, waved Israeli flags, and echoed chants of "We won't relent; we demand the release of the hostages!"

Earlier today, Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas Resistance movement, said that it transported several Israeli captives to care centers due to their dire health condition after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the captives were in Gaza's hospitals.

The Resistance disputed Netanyahu's claims because the Israeli occupation forces have been using the false pretext that the Palestinian Resistance is keeping captives in hospitals and even using them to store military equipment to give legitimacy to their attacks and stifling sieges of hospitals in Gaza.

The Al-Qassam Brigades underlined that Israeli captive Aryeh Zalman Zedmanovich, whose ID number is 0010185791, was recently taken to a care center because of the habitual panic attacks he would suffer due to the repeated Israeli bombings where he was being held captive.

Zedmanovich was receiving medical attention in captivity, with Al-Qassam sharing footage of him before his death, wherein medical personnel were tending to him. 

He kept having panic attacks until they got too much and he wound up dying because of one.

On Tuesday, A senior Israeli political source said that progress has been made on a captive deal and a breakthrough could come in the next 48-72 hours.

The Israeli War Cabinet met on Tuesday night to discuss the deal, the source said after Israeli officials have said as many as 239 Israelis are being held captive in Gaza.

Demonstrations took over "Tel Aviv", on Tuesday, as families of the Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip took to the streets, escalating pressure on the government of Israeli occupation government's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding answers amid conflicting news regarding a possible exchange deal with the Palestinian Resistance, mediated by Egypt and Qatar and with a US blessing.

The settlers protesting Netanyahu's government, carrying pictures of their children who are being held captive in the Strip, demanded "Netanyahu and the government give us answers and measures," stressing that they "no longer have the strength."

Another Israeli settler underscored, "We do not have time to wait any longer. Every day that passes puts the lives of the prisoners in danger."
