Tens of thousands of grieving and angry Israelis took to the streets Sunday night after six more hostages were found in the Gaza Strip, chanting “Now! Now!” and demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reach a ceasefire with Hamas to bring the remaining captives home.

The mass demonstration was apparently the largest of its kind in 11 months of war, with protesters saying it felt like a turning point even though the country remains deeply divided.
