People shout slogans during a protest demanding the release of dozens of Israeli captives who had been captured by Hamas' military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, in "Tel Aviv", occupied Palestine, October 14, 2023 (AP)
The families of dozens of captured Israeli settlers and missing persons protested outside the Israeli security ministry in "Tel Aviv" in light of government inaction.
The settlers, demanding the resignation of Netanyahu's cabinet, want the Israeli government to move and return the captured settlers as hundreds remain with the Palestinian Resistance.
Thus far, only three settlers, a woman and her two children, were returned to the occupied Palestinian Resistance at the initiative of the Palestinian Resistance and without any agreement with the Israeli occupation.

This comes after dozens of Israeli settlers and foreigners perished during the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip as the Israeli occupation forces continued to shell the Strip indiscriminately without taking into consideration the location of its settlers.
The military wing of Hamas, Al-Qassam Brigades, said Saturday that nine captives were killed as a result of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza.
These include five Israelis and four foreigners, Al-Qassam Brigades said in a statement, noting that they had been killed by Israeli "strikes on locations where the prisoners were held" without elaborating.
The most recent fatalities increased the total death toll to 22 out of at least 150 hostages, including Israelis, foreigners, and individuals with dual nationality, who were taken captive by Resistance fighters on October 7.
Families of hostages outraged
Earlier on Saturday, sources reported that family members of several Israelis captured by the Palestinian Resistance during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood held an angry protest outside the Israeli Security Ministry in "Tel Aviv" and blocked "Kaplan Street".
The protesters expressed outrage at the performance of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asking, "Where is the army? Where is Netanyahu's son, is he in Miami?" referring to the reason he was not on the frontlines with their captured family members.
Demonstrators further warned the Prime Minister that the current movement is just the beginning.
A wave of growing anger and frustration has spread among settlers residing in the Gaza Envelope settlements and the families of Israeli captives.
The latest data released by the regime revealed that the number of Israelis killed in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood operation has increased to around 1,500 while those injured have exceeded 3,200.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation army informed on Friday 265 families of their killed members, while 120 families were told that they were held captive.
