Tens of thousands protest in Israel against Netanyahu

According to official Israeli figures, fighters from Hamas and other extremist Palestinian groups killed about 1,200 people in Israel. They also abducted more than 250 others into the Gaza Strip. 

Protesters directed their criticism directly at the government leadership and chanted, among other things, the slogan: "We do not forget, we do not forgive".

Israel's general election is being held on Tuesday, the first poll since the Hamas terrorist attacks three years ago and is considered a referendum on Netanyahu's leadership.
