Tensions continue to escalate in the Israeli occupation entity as large-scale protests erupt demanding early elections and for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a prisoner exchange agreement with the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza.

Israeli Channel 12 reported on Thursday that demonstrating families of Israeli captives placed 27 coffins in Habima Square, a central public square in Tel Aviv, symbolizing the number of captives killed in Gaza so far.

Additionally, clashes reignited between Israeli police and protesters demanding a prisoner exchange deal after the demonstrators attempted to block the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv.

On Tuesday, Israeli protesters broke through barriers around Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea, while the prime minister was giving a press conference addressing developments, including the six Israeli captives found killed in Rafah earlier last week.

Meanwhile, in Tel Aviv, thousands took to the streets for the second consecutive night, expressing outrage over the regime's poor handling of the captives' situation and calling for an immediate deal.

Many protesters hold Netanyahu responsible for the deaths of the six captives, arguing that their lives could have been saved if a deal had been pursued earlier.

Nasser Lahham, head of Al Mayadeen's office in occupied Palestine, described the current wave of protests as "more of an insurrection than a strike," noting that despite potential legal actions to halt the strikes, the momentum of street protests appears unstoppable.
