Families of hostages protesting for their release on Thursday morning blocked the Ayalon routes towards the north, demanding a deal, Israeli media reported on Thursday.

According to the reports, the protesters can be seen holding a sign saying, "Either Rafah or a deal. We choose life!"

Two people have been arrested on Ayalon, one for throwing eggs at protestors and the other for refusing to leave the area.

This is a developing story.
