Watch: Protesters pack Tel Aviv square to demand Gaza ceasefire

Thousands of demonstrators packed Tel Aviv's Habima Square on Thursday, calling on the Israeli government to agree a deal to end the war in Gaza and bring all the hostages still held by Hamas home.

Footage shows huge crowds, with some people holding signs aloft to show their objection to the ongoing conflict.

Following the main rally some protesters blocked nearby streets and were forcibly dispersed by police, who also detained some individuals.
