More than 30,000 demonstrate in Tel Aviv against Hamas rockets

At least 30,000 demonstrators from the communities close to the Gaza Strip and sympathizers from across Israel filled Rabin Sq. in Tel Aviv Thursday night in support of the demand for the government to put an end to the rockets raining down on them year after year. “All we want is to live normally,” they said. Their leaders first met with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who promised not to end Operation Defensive Edge until it achieved its goal of long-term quiet.
