Hundreds of protesters, including family members of hostages, are preparing to march around the perimeter of Israel's military headquarters in Tel Aviv, in protest of the Israeli government's decision to occupy Gaza.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum is organizing the protest, which will culminate in a rally at Hostage Square. "Time is running out – our loved ones can't wait any longer.

We either bring them home now, or we lose them for good. There are moments in history when we must stand up and do what's right – this is that moment," the forum said in a statement.

They carry a message for IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir as well: "You know this war has run its course, and the only path to real victory is a single deal that brings everyone home."
