Baby Kfir and brother Ariel, 4, were taken with their mother Shiri by Hamas on October 7. Their father Yarden, seen in the video, is thought to be alive in Gaza, but the fate of his family is unclear. Yarden is reported to have surrendered himself to the gunmen in the hope that they would take him and spare his wife and children. In November, the al-Qassam Brigades - Hamas's military wing - claimed that Kfir, Ariel and Shiri had been killed in an Israeli airstrike. These claims were never verified, and uncertainty remains over their fate. It was believed that the mother and her two children had been taken into Khan Younis by a Palestinian group separate from Hamas.

There were audible gasps as the Stars and Stripes being held by a pro-Israel counter-protestor was set alight and then waved in the air - as bright yellow flames could be seen coming from the flag. Police officers stationed at the protest outside the New York Stock Exchange could be seen wrestling the flag and stamping out the fire as it was brought to the ground. Moments later, a fellow protestor could be heard yelling 'Death to America'.

Officers clashed with pro-Palestine demonstrators across the country today as protesters took part in 'economic blockades' amid fears that an unprecedented 350-missile attack on Israel by Iran could escalate the war in the Middle East. Hundreds of protesters gathered across the country to chant and unfurl banners as police struggled to keep crowds under control. People had been encouraged by pro-Palestinian groups to take part in an 'economic blockade' today by missing work or school and only making purchases from companies sympathetic to their cause.
