Israeli hostages held in Gaza
A plane flying over Israel early on Monday, drew ribbons symbolizing the call for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
The gesture was made by one or more pilot and the symbol was seen from north to south, as the dawn skies turned red and the sun came up.

The IDF said they were drawn during routine air force activity but did not specify whether the symbols were created on purpose or not and it appears the the pilots involved were not acting under orders.
Photographs were sent to Ynet from readers all over the country, some calling the sight "spectacular."

"May this be a sign," one reader who counted three ribbons, said. "Even the sky wants the hostages to come home," another wrote.
