Families of abductees and missing persons set up a tent guard on Friday in Museum Square opposite the Kirya in Tel Aviv, where the cabinet usually gathers. The families announced that they would not return home until all the abductees returned. Already tonight, three families will remain there to stay overnight in the square, and the headquarters of the abductees and missing said that more families are expected to join later.

"We'll sleep in a tent, I'm not coming back until they come back," said Merav Leshem Gonen from Kfar Vradim, whose daughter Romi Gonen, 23, was shot and kidnapped at the nature party in Re'im. "Since my daughter was kidnapped, I haven't heard from her. I haven't slept since. I feel 100% identification and support, of the entire nation. There is no coalition or opposition here, everyone is united until the return of the hostages, we receive support and encouragement from many who come here, and this strengthens us and warms our hearts."
