Hundreds of thousands of protesters in Israel have taken to the streets demanding an end to the war in Gaza and a deal to free captives held in the besieged enclave, as the military intensifies attacks on Gaza City to force tens of thousands of starving Palestinians to flee again.
Israeli police made dozens of arrests and used water cannons on protesters who gathered Sunday for the nationwide demonstration with organisers reporting nearly half a million people turning out to protest in Tel Aviv by nightfall – one of the largest and fiercest since the war begin nearly two years ago.
