Posters with the faces of people held hostage in the Israel-Gaza conflict have been displayed outside Brighton landmarks.
Members of the Jewish and Proud Brighton and Hove group held the placards outside the city’s Palace Pier and Royal Pavilion on Saturday. Earlier they were outside Jubilee Library.
The demonstration marked 100 days since the October 7 attacks with the group aiming to “peacefully engage with the public”.
Michal Neta, a member of Jewish and Proud Brighton and Hove, said: “These people cannot be forgotten. We want people to be aware of it and remember these are real people.
“We don’t want to confront people. We care about civilians wherever they are and we want to make sure we are peaceful and engage with the public.

“Many people have been very supportive. It’s very meaningful for our community and we need support and love and for people to just be with us.”
The group previously held a rally to “push back against the darkness” amid the war between Israel and Hamas.
