- Story Text: Minor scuffles broke out between anti-government protesters and police on Saturday (March 29) during a demonstration to put pressure on the Israeli government to agree to a ceasefire proposal and secure the release of all hostages in Hamas captivity.
Protesters marched from Habima Square where they joined relatives of hostages in Begin Gate in Tel Aviv.
The protests, which build on earlier waves of anti-government demonstrations, have blended with actions by supporters of the Israeli hostages still held in Gaza who have been shocked by the decision to resume bombing the Palestinian enclave and to send troops back in the area.
The Israeli military said on Saturday it had begun "ground activity" in the Jneina neighbourhood of Rafah to expand what it described as the security zone in southern Gaza.
On March 18, Israel resumed bombing and ground operations in Hamas which it said were intended to increase pressure on the Palestinian militant group Hamas to free hostages.
More than 50,000 people have died in Gaza, the majority civilians, according to the health authorities in Gaza.
