Anti-government demonstrators were blocking roads in 'Tel Aviv' on Saturday and were prevented from obstructing the 'Ayalon' expressway by Israeli police after they were pushed onto sidewalks.

According to Israeli media, police scuffled with demonstrators as protesters demanded the release of Israeli captives in Gaza outside of the Israeli Prime Minister's house.

A detachment of the Israeli mounted police in "Tel Aviv" dispersed the anti-government protesters, who have succeeded in partially blocking the central highway, a Sputnik correspondent reported on Sunday.

In occupied al-Quds, protesters calling for the release of captives in Gaza gathered outside the Prime Minister’s Residence.

On Friday, settlers protested government policies and demanded Netanyahu reach an agreement immediately, urging him to allow someone else to do so if he cannot. 

On Saturday, the military spokesperson of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, revealed the names of four of the remaining Israeli captives, out of seven, who were killed in "Israel's" bombardment of the Gaza Strip. 

In a brief statement on Saturday, Abu Obeida said that following a thorough examination of the captives' identities, he confirmed the killings of each of Itzik Jarat, Alex Densig, Ronin Tommy Angel, and Eliyahu Margalit. 

Israeli settlers completely ignore the 9,000 Palestinian women killed by "Israel" in the 155 days of the war on Gaza.

To honor International Women's Day, the UN Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA) took to social media platform X to raise the alarm on the suffering of Palestinian women.

"On International Women's Day, the women in Gaza continue to endure the consequences of this brutal war", it wrote.

It added, "At least 9,000 women have been killed, many more are under the rubble. On average, 63 women are killed in Gaza per day - 37 are mothers who leave their families behind."

According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, 75% of the total number of 72,156 injuries were women, while women and children also constituted 70% of the 7,000 cases of missing persons.

Health in Gaza reveals challenges for pregnant women

Reports from Gaza further indicate that approximately two million people were forced to evacuate their homes, with half of them being women.

According to the report, Palestinian women also make up 49% of the total population across all of occupied Palestine, with a count of 2.76 million women as of mid-2024 (1.63 million in the West Bank and 1.13 million in Gaza).

The health situation in Gaza reveals significant challenges for pregnant women, with approximately 60,000 expectant mothers in the Strip experiencing around 180 births daily. Approximately 15% of these women are at risk of complications that are difficult to address due to a lack of medical care. The incidence of premature births has risen by about one-third, attributed to factors like stress and trauma, resulting in a 300% increase in miscarriages.

According to a UN Women study issued in January, the Israeli occupation is killing two mothers every hour in Gaza since it began its aggression on October 7.
