The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, which represents relatives of Israeli captives in Gaza, has urged the public to join a peace march this evening in front of Israel’s Kirya military base in Tel Aviv, Al Jazeera reports.

The group says it invites Israelis to “stand and march with them … and cry out together: ‘Enough with sacrificing the hostages! Enough with sacrificing the soldiers, both active and reserve! Enough with sacrificing the evacuees!’”

It also urged people who cannot join the march to step outside at 8pm (10pm PKT) and flip on their phone flashlights in solidarity with the Israeli captives.
