On Thursday, families of soldiers killed during the war displayed coffins in Jerusalem to protest against a proposed ceasefire deal.

Despite celebrations across the world over a proposed ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, the families of soldiers killed in Israel have opposed the deal, warning it would leave 70 hostages behind.

The deal, announced on Wednesday by key mediators, aims to end the 15-month war and release Israeli hostages held in Gaza.

It has been held up by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who claims Hamas have failed to honour the agreement last minute.
