Israel gave final approval Wednesday for a settlement project that would effectively split the occupied West Bank in two, possibly destroying hopes for a future Palestinian state.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, which organized the "Israel on Hold” protests, said that over a million people took part in the demonstrations across the country on Sunday. Per the organization, almost 500,000 protesters gathered in Tel Aviv’s Hostage Square.

Attacks come as Israeli-induced famine grips the besieged Strip amid calls for Israel to accept a mediated truce.

Call-up letters have gone out to 60,000 reservists to bolster an operation which is expected to last until next year.

Protesters in Israel escalated their ongoing campaign on Sunday to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza.

Israeli forces eliminated a Gaza terrorist involved in the Oct. 7 Kibbutz Nir Oz invasion and Yarden Bibas kidnapping during an Aug. 10 airstrike, the IDF and Shin Bet announced.

The Israeli military will provide Gaza residents with tents and other equipment starting from Sunday ahead of relocating them from combat zones to "safe" ones in the south of the enclave, military spokesperson Avichay Adraee said on Saturday.
