Dozens of Israeli young men students and workers who live in settlements near the Gaza border participated in a sit-in on Sunday morning to demand the Israeli government to preserve permanent calm on the Gaza front.
According to the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth the sit-in was staged at the entrance to Eshkol regional council.
The demonstrators were protesting the volatile security situation on the Israeli-Gaza border and chanted slogans calling on the government to let them live peacefully and quietly.
Gaza has been under inhumane blockade for about 12 years while Israel commits every once in a while systematic crimes against the population.
