Police Estimate 100,000 in Rally for IDF Hostages Reported: 21:10 PM - Aug/31/06
(IsraelNN.com) (IsraelNN.com) Tel Aviv police estimate that more than 100,000 people have gathered at Rabin Square in Tel Aviv to pressure the government to return home three IDF soldiers kidnapped this summer by terrorists.
Mikki Goldwassser, mother of reservist Ehud Goldwasser, who was abducted by Hizbullah terrorists July 12, spoke to the crowd a few minutes ago, as did the soldier's wife Karnit. Organizers of the demonstration have ensured that the rally does not turn into a political affair. Several speakers, including a soldier who was under the command of missing Air Force navigator Ron Arad, sharply criticized politicians for failing to bring back the soldiers. ![]() Sign up to receive the Daily Israel Report by email (Free) © IsraelNN Syndications - This article may not be republished freely.
