Thousands of Israeli settlers demonstrated, on Saturday, in front of the Israeli Ministry of "Security" building in "Tel Aviv", raising slogans and demanding the return of Israeli settlers held captive by the Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that the families demanded the Israeli occupation government conclude an "immediate deal" to release their children from captivity.

According to the broadcasting authority, the demonstrators confirmed their "readiness to escalate their protests, at any moment, with the aim of pressuring the government to conclude the deal with the Hamas movement."

According to Israeli media, Israeli police officers tore down a banner carried by the demonstrators, which read: "Stop genocide in Gaza".

These protests came shortly after the military wing of the Hamas Resistance movement, the al-Qassam Brigades, announced having lost contact with a group of Resistance fighters guarding five Israeli settlers as a result of the brutal Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip

Al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson Abu Obeida said the five Israeli captives were presumed dead due to the indiscriminate Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Resistance published the names and photos of three of the settlers who are presumed dead at the hands of their own forces.

The Israeli captives include Chaim Peri, 79, Yoram Metzger, 80, and Amiram Cooper, 84. The photos of the settlers were released in a poster that has the words "time is running out" in Arabic, Hebrew, and English.

The three Israeli settlers had appeared in a video published by the Resistance earlier in the week wherein they had been asking the Israeli occupation government and their families not to abandon them.

Peri, who identified himself as being from Kibbutz "Nir Oz", stated, "We are the generation that built Israel, and we participated in building the army. I don't understand why we are abandoned here."

He continued, "We don't want to die as a result of Israeli airstrikes," and demanded their unconditional release, ending his message with, "Don't let us grow old here." The other two captives echoed the same plea in the video.

Over 60 Israeli captives have lost their lives since the commencement of Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, with some killed by airstrikes and others by the gunfire of Israeli special forces.
