Relatives of more than 100 Israeli hostages still held in Gaza stepped up their protests by disrupting a parliament committee meeting, yelling “You won’t sit here while they are dying there!”

Relatives of more than 100 Israeli hostages still held in Gaza have stepped up their protests, disrupting a parliament committee meeting on Monday yelling, “You won’t sit here while they are dying there!”

And outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home in Jerusalem, hostages' family members have set up tents and are vowing to stay until the Israeli government reaches a deal to free at least some of the hostages.

The mounting pressure on Netanyahu comes as heavy fighting is scouring Gaza's southern city of Khan Younis. Palestinian medics say dozens of dead and wounded people were brought to the city’s already overwhelmed Nasser Hospital.

Communication services across Gaza dropped late Monday due to the ongoing fighting — the 10th telecoms blackout during the war — cutting the besieged territory off from the outside world.
