Ben Gurion Airport will suspend flights for two hours from 8:00 a.m. as part of a nationwide strike. The announcement was made by Israel's largest labor union, which is determined to paralyze the Israeli economy and secure a deal to free the hostages.
Public demonstrations are taking place over the killing of six hostages in the Gaza Strip, whose bodies were found over the weekend. According to CNN, three of them are to be released in a possible ceasefire. Thousands of Israelis are taking part in rallies demanding the release of hostages taken by Hamas in October 2023.
