On a main road adjacent to Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Jerusalem, protestors have gathered.
Around 20 people are standing near the Israeli Prime Minister's residence, calling for the government to retrieve the body of Sergeant Oron Shaul, of the Golani infantry brigade, who went missing in Gaza during Operation Protective Edge two years ago last month.
Amid the passing cars honking in support and petitioners calling on the public to back the campaign, one woman sits quietly by a makeshift table.
Her arms are slumped and she moves little. Her eyes do most of the talking.
This is Zehava Shaul, mother of Oron - and she is in pain. She wears a crisp white T-shirt, printed with a picture of him in uniform next to an Israeli flag.
Mrs Shaul wants her son back, dead or alive. Not knowing what has happened to Oron, who was ambushed during a mission in Shejaiya, has proven to be most painful.
Hamas have claimed the 21-year-old was taken hostage - and celebrated his apparent kidnap on state-sponsored television. Israel has contested this account, noting that Oron's discarded uniform and bullet-laden helmet were discovered in a tunnel.
The IDF believes he was killed after initially surviving a missile attack on a vehicle which left six of his comrades dead.
Mrs Shaul, joined by a dozen family and friends, decided to take matters into her own hands last month, travelling from her home near Tiberias to protest in the Israeli capital.
She is calling for the restriction of visiting rights for convicted terrorists in a bid to put pressure on Hamas.
"My life has changed, it has flipped 180 degrees," says the mother-of-three.
"I think about Oron all of the time. Every time we make kiddush on Shabbat, every time there is a Jewish festival - there is always one chair empty for him."
Mrs Shaul, who also has sons aged 24 and 16, said she would let her youngest child join the IDF - but "not as a Golani or any kind of fighting soldier.
"The government, the country, sent my son to war. They have to bring him back home. I want people to put pressure on the Israeli government, and on Hamas, to help bring my son back."
Shay Namimi, sitting next to his aunt, explained: "We decided to stay silent for two years, to let the government and army deal with it. But after that, we decided to launch our struggle to get him back.
"We are not going to be quiet anymore. Hamas want 50 terrorists back just to start negotiations for Oron. I want the Israeli government to do anything they can. When they send a soldier to war, they have to bring him back."
A spokesman in Mr Netanyahu's office declined to comment.
