Cheers for Released Hostage Yocheved Lifshitz at Protest Encampment

The 88-year-old captivity survivor received warm applause at a protest encampment of families affected by the massacre following controversial remarks by a Likud candidate.

Captivity survivor Yocheved Lifshitz, 88, was greeted with cheers and enthusiasm at the "Sukkat HaMekhdal" protest encampment organized by families affected by the massacre, after a Likud candidate called to "return her to Hamas" and subsequently apologized, as reported by ynet and Reshet 13. Attendees at the gathering chanted "the people are with you" in support of Lifshitz.

According to ynet, during the event, the father of fallen soldier Guy Illouz condemned the candidate's remarks, asking: "How small can you be to try to serve your emperor?"

Further details regarding the continuation of the protest actions have not yet been released.
