Israeli families desperate to get hostages home protest to demand action: 'We have no time'

Increasingly frustrated families of Hamas hostages are resorting to new tactics in an effort to get them home after months in captivity.

Some families of Israeli hostages say they have reached their breaking point and have begun to take extreme measures to express their frustration more than four months into the Israel-Hamas war.

Dozens of people have blocked traffic in recent days on Israeli highways, lit fires, thrown buckets of fake blood, and shouted chants calling on the government to work harder to bring the hostages home who were taken after Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7.

Many of the protesters at a highway protest that took place a few weeks ago told ABC News that they knew they risked arrest, but after months of despair, and a growing desperation too see their loved ones again, they needed to do something.

Hamas and other Palestinian militants took roughly 250 people hostage on Oct. 7, and it is estimated about 130 hostages remain in Gaza.
