The protests were sparked by the discovery of six dead hostages in Gaza, who had been held by Hamas for nearly 11 months. The Israeli Defense Forces reported that these hostages were killed just before Israeli troops could reach them. The deceased were identified as Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi and Master Sgt Ori Danino. Three of them including an Israeli American were scheduled to be released in an earlier proposed ceasefire deal.
