Israelis took to the streets Sunday night, cutting off the Ayalon highway, the highway that runs through the heart of Tel Aviv, and setting fires in the streets. Several dozen police officers tried to contain the protest, but could not push it. Local media reports that 29 people have been arrested.
Protesters are calling on the government to reach an agreement on the war in Gaza. The Israelis' frustration comes after six bodies of hostages taken by Hamas were found this weekend in Gaza.

On Monday, schools, offices and the international airport were closed after Israel's largest trade union, the Histadrut, ordered a strike that is expected to bring large parts of the economy to a halt.
Some analysts said the protest could signal a new level of political pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
