THOUSANDS took to the streets in Tel Aviv at the weekend to call for an end to the war in Gaza, a day after the Israeli government vowed to expand the conflict and capture Gaza City.
Demonstrators waved signs and held up pictures of hostages still being held in the Palestinian territory as they called on the government to secure their release.
Journalists at the rally estimated the number of attendees to be in the tens of thousands, while a group representing the families of hostages said as many as 100 000 people participated.
Authorities did not provide an official estimate for the size of the crowd, though it dwarfed other recent antiwar rallies.
