Tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in Israel in the biggest civil unrest since the beginning of the Hamas war.
Today the country is at a standstill amid a general strike. It was called after the IDF recovered the bodies of six hostages from an underground tunnel in Rafah.

Murray joins Piers tonight.
