Dozens of teenagers briefly blocked Ayalon Highway northbound near Rokach Interchange, demanding the government sign an agreement to return all hostages and end the war in the Gaza Strip. The teens set tables on fire on the road and displayed a banner reading "We will not learn to live with this." They stated, "We are not willing to learn to live in a routine where hostages are murdered in Hamas tunnels and the Israeli government doesn't even bother to discuss the deal on the table, therefore we will not allow the school year to begin as usual."
