The recovery of the bodies of six Israeli hostages seized by Palestinian militants during the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attacks has triggered deep shock in Israel, bringing half a million people into the streets in protest on Sunday and prompting the biggest labor union to launch a general strike on Monday.
