00:00Protesters gathered in Jerusalem on Wednesday, marching towards the home of Israeli Prime

00:05Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to voice opposition to the government's decision to resume military

00:10operations in Gaza.

00:12Israel broke a fragile ceasefire early Tuesday when it launched heavy airstrikes on the Gaza

00:16Strip, reigniting a violent conflict that had paused since January.

00:20The bombing resulted in the death of more than 400 Palestinians, according to local

00:24health officials, and sparked widespread outrage among many Israelis.

00:29I think something has changed with our government.

00:34It's not a government I've known before.

00:37Something has changed in the ministers about all their opinions.

00:46They are taking us to a very bad direction, I think, that hurts our democracy and our

00:53country.

00:54and as a citizen I think everybody should say something about it and not just sit in the house

01:03and complain. We should go out and raise our voice. Currently 24 hostages are known to remain

01:13alive in Gaza while Israel says Hamas also holds the remains of 35 other captives.

01:20The strikes were ordered by Netanyahu after Hamas refused Israeli demands to release

01:26half of the remaining hostages as a condition for extending the ceasefire.

01:32The bombardment, which marks Israel's deadliest attack in the 17-month-long war,

01:38resulted in the deaths of mostly women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
