Several Facebook pages with Albanian language content have published a photo of a protest in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
Through this image, it was claimed that the protest was held as a reason for reaching a hostage exchange agreement between Hamas and Israel.
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that this claim is untrue, and that the protest in Tel Aviv was held by the families of Israeli prisoners, against Benjamin Netanyahu's government.

After researching online search engines, hibrid.info managed to find the same image published in an article by the Arab media outlet "Arab Journal", which explains that the image represents a protest against Netanyahu's government in Tel Aviv. (see here)
Excerpt from the article published in the Arab media "Arab Journal", translated into Albanian:
Tel Aviv witnessed a large demonstration by families of prisoners against Benjamin Netanyahu's government, with the participation of tens of thousands of Israeli settlers.
During the demonstration, demonstrators held up banners reading: "We are dying because of Netanyahu's policies... Get out of our lives," demanding an end to the war and the release of all Israeli prisoners in the Gaza Strip.
