Israeli doctors block Tel Aviv road, call for deal to end Gaza war

Israeli doctors have blocked a major road in Tel Aviv in a protest calling for a comprehensive agreement to return captives held by Hamas and end the war in Gaza.

Footage posted on X and verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking agency showed the group of protesters blocking traffic, holding signs and chanting their demands.

In a statement, the group said they were there “to fulfill our professional responsibility and demand the most important thing for the healing of the State of Israel … End the war and bring everyone home.”



Ultra-Orthodox Jews protest against conscription at Israeli army office

A group of ultra-Orthodox Jewish protesters has held a demonstration against military conscription in front of an Israeli army recruitment office in Tel HaShomer.

Hundreds of Israeli reservists refuse plans to seize Gaza City

A group of Israeli reservists is speaking out in opposition to the government’s plan to seize Gaza City, saying they will not report for duty if called up to fight.

Israeli media reported that 365 soldiers have so far announced they will not report for duty when called again.

“We refuse to take part in Netanyahu’s illegal war, and we see it as a patriotic duty to refuse and demand accountability from our leaders,” Sergeant First Class Max Kresch told a Tel Aviv press conference, according to The Times of Israel.

Israel is advancing a large-scale mobilisation of reservists to expand ground operations in Gaza City.

Reservists who have spoken against expanding the war cited concern for the well-being of Israeli captives still held in Gaza and the lack of “logic” to the decision of seizing Gaza City, which many view as the first step to re-establishing Israeli military presence in the entire Strip.
