Tel Aviv hostage rally cancelled over ‘security situation’

Israel’s Hostage and Missing Families Forum has cancelled a rally in Tel Aviv scheduled for Saturday amid fighting with Lebanese militia Hezbollah, which fired a ballistic missile at the city for the first time on Wednesday. The rally “has been cancelled due to the current security situation and concerns for the safety of the large crowd expected to attend,” the forum said. Rallies in other parts of the country will go ahead as planned.
