CBSN
Tel Aviv — Thousands of Israelis took the streets again Wednesday night with one clear message for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government: Free the hostages.
The demonstrations were triggered by the release of a graphic video showing five female soldiers held in Hamas captivity. It was shot by the Hamas militants themselves, some of whom wore body cameras during their Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel, when the five women were seized from an Israeli army base.
The families of the captive soldiers decided to release the video clip to the public, fearing the plight of the remaining 100 or so hostages still thought to be alive in Gaza is fading from global attention. Due the nature of the video, CBS News has chosen to use only still images.
