Thousands gathered in Tel Aviv to mark 1,000 days since the 7 October 2023 attack, as former hostages and bereaved families addressed the crowd.
As Israel marks 1,000 days since the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023, families of the hostages, their supporters and other demonstrators gather in Tel Aviv to demand a state commission of inquiry.
Footage shows a march towards Hostages Square, where protesters carry placards and Israeli flags before joining a rally against the government and the war in Gaza.
A woman stands with a symbolic zipper over her mouth and ropes around her hands, while another protester wears a mask depicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A young woman later plays the piano as the square, renamed 'Memory Square' for the day, becomes a place for reflection.
The demonstration combines demands for accountability with calls to secure the release of the remaining hostages. Signs reading '1,000 State Commission of Inquiry' underline protesters' insistence on an independent investigation into the events that led to the deadliest attack in Israel's history.
