Anti-government protesters demonstrated at several sites on Thursday morning, including near the Knesset, major junctions, and the homes of ministers Yoav Kisch and Miki Zohar, according to reports. The protests are framed as marking 1,000 days since the war began.
Anti-government protesters gathered Thursday morning at multiple locations nationwide, including outside the homes of Education Minister Yoav Kisch and Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar, as part of a broader wave of demonstrations marking the 1,000th day since the October 7, 2023 massacre, according to N12 and i24NEWS. The rallies follow a morning that began at 06:29 Jerusalem with the first reports of memorial events led by the October Council, including a national moment of silence at 10:00 and a central rally at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv calling for a state commission of inquiry. By 07:21, protesters had staged a display near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea, and by 07:31, demonstrators were outside Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana's home. Bereaved families had also protested outside Minister Kisch's home by 07:49, demanding an inquiry, before the current reports of protests at his and Minister Zohar's homes.
The thread's earliest reports, at 06:29, cited N12 and N12 and The Times of Israel, with multiple newsrooms corroborating the planned events. By 07:31, N12 had confirmed protests at Ohana's home; by 07:49, N12 had documented the bereaved families' protest at Kisch's home with photo evidence. The current development marks a further expansion to include Zohar's residence, consistent with the desk's earlier reporting on June 24 that traffic disruptions were expected in 19 cities for planned anti-government rallies.
As The Zioneer reported on June 27 and June 13, anti-government protests have been active across multiple junctions and towns nationwide in recent weeks, organized by groups including the October Council. The current demonstrations are framed as marking the 1,000th day since the massacre, with participants pressing for a state commission of inquiry, as earlier reported.
The scale of Thursday's turnout at each location and any arrests were not immediately confirmed by the time of this update.
