An amazing demonstration of solidarity in Tel Aviv: Israelis rally in Tel-Aviv in support of abducted soldiers.

TEL AVIV (AFP) - Tens of thousands of Israelis rallied in Tel Aviv, putting pressure on the government to secure the release of two soldiers captured by Hezbollah and a third held captive by Gaza militants.

We do not abandon soldiers on the battlefield,” read white banners emblazoned in red hanging behind the stage in Rabin Square and carried in the sombre crowd aloft by teenagers, the elderly, mothers, fathers, children and scouts.

“We ask all the world to release the hostages,” cried handwritten placards, jostling alongside flags with the faces of the soldiers superimposed on the blue and white Israeli flag.

Police and organisers of the rally — friends of the families of the three servicemen — had said they expected 50,000 people to attend from all over the country, but actress Osnat Vishinsky announced a massive 100,000 had attended.
