Over 100 surfers and kayakers formed a circle of hope at Palmahim Beach to call for the release of hostages held in Gaza. The participants did a paddle out, a Hawaiian memorial tradition, to honor the hostages and share their thoughts. Avri Herman, a bereaved father and hostage family member, led the paddle out and emphasized the urgency of bringing the hostages back. He mentioned that his brother-in-law's body remains in Gaza and called for the return of all those who were taken. Herman concluded by stating that every second is a death sentence for the hostages and urged immediate action.
