A large group of relatives of Israelis from the Bring Them Home Now Organization still held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza after nearly 11 months marched down to the border in a convoy from Tel Aviv and breached the border fence Thursday morning.
Kidnapped family members who left in a convoy from Tel Aviv arrived near the border, where they set up loudspeakers and called out to their loved ones – before breaching the fence. Over 300 vehicles and thousands of spectators participated in what the “Bring Them Home Now” organization called the “End the Abandonment” convoy, which was led by families of the hostages.
The protestors went to the border area near Kibbutz Nirim, one of the communities destroyed by Hamas terrorists during the October 7 massacre and from where a number of the hostages were taken.

“The families in great pain broke through the fence to Gaza and ran towards the Gaza Strip crying out to be as close to their loved ones as possible,” said Bring Them Home Now. “The families are crying out to close the deal that will bring back their loved ones – the living for rehabilitation and the victims and the murdered for burial in their country.”
“It has been almost 11 months that the families have been waiting for the Israeli government to return the abductees. 11 months of hopes and disappointments,” Bring Them Home Now added.
Rachel Goldberg-Polin, mother of the hostage Hersh Polin, shouted to her son, who is being held somewhere in Gaza, from the border, reported Ynet.
“This is mother. Hirsch, this is the 328th day [of his captivity], we are all here, all the families of the 107 abductees who remained in captivity,” she shouted. “Hirsch, we work day and night and we will never stop. I I need you to know that I bless you every morning and every Friday evening, and I raise my hands towards Gaza and I give you the blessing, that God bless you and keep you.” His father, John, added: “Hirsh, this is Dad. We need you to know and all 107 abductees need to know that not only the families here today, and not only 9 million people in this country, but the whole world. We will not stop until you all come home soon.”
