Protestas en Israel tras luego que seis rehenes son asesinados en Gaza
September 2, 2024 - Una huelga nacional ha comenzado en Israel tras la muerte de seis rehenes retenidos por Hamas, al aumentar la frustración por la incapacidad de asegurar un pacto de alto al fuego.
The strike disrupted transport and medical services in several Israeli districts and many shops and businesses were closed after the head of the Histadrut union, which represents hundreds of thousands of workers, called for a general stoppage.
The recovery of the six hostages, who were shot dead between 48-72 hours before being found by Israeli forces, according to the health ministry, triggered a wave of grief and fury in Israel, prompting at least half a million people to take to the streets in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv on Sunday.
The demonstrators are demanding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reach a ceasefire agreement with Palestinian militant group Hamas to bring the remaining hostages home, Reuters said.
