How did protesters in Israel symbolically represent the hostages' captivity?

During the Israeli protests demanding the release of 73 hostages held by Hamas, demonstrators used powerful symbolic methods to illustrate the captivity conditions. Some protesters chained themselves to a mock cage on the ground, physically recreating the confinement described by previously released hostages in their testimonies. This dramatic visual representation aimed to highlight the harsh reality of captivity and intensify public pressure for action. The symbolic cages served as a poignant reminder of the ongoing suffering of those still held by Hamas, bringing greater emotional weight to their demands for the hostages' release.
