Relatives gathering at defence ministry want to know what strategies are in place to free the captives
Israel’s defence ministry headquarters used to soar over Tel Aviv as a symbol of might but for the families of hostages now gathered beneath it the building has become a focal point of anguish.
Relatives filled the plaza opposite the 17-storey Matcal tower on Saturday to demand that a state founded to protect Jews respect that covenant by doing everything possible to save the captives in Gaza.
