At least 2,000 people attend an anti-government protest at Habima square in Tel Aviv, as the Israel-Hamas war nears its 100 days mark. The war, in which Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas, began when the militants launched an unprecedented attack on October 7 that resulted in about 1,140 deaths in Israel, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. Israel's relentless bombardment of Gaza since then has killed at least 23,843 people, mostly women and children, according to the latest toll reported by the health ministry of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
