Israel is experiencing a nationwide strike as public anger over the government's handling of the hostage crisis continues to escalate.
The protests, fueled by the recent discovery of six hostages' bodies, have seen widespread demonstrations across the country.
The largest labor union in Israel, Histadrut, called for the strike, criticizing the government's lack of progress in securing the release of the remaining hostages.
Despite the government's anger at the union's action, the call for a strike highlights the immense pressure facing the government to address the growing public discontent.
