JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Left-wing activists marked "42 years of occupation" during a march in Tel Aviv.

Saturday night's protest march, marking 42 years since the Six-Day War in 1967, went from Rabin Square past the Tel Aviv Museum. Protesters carried signs reading "Stop the occupation, bring back democracy."

Israel Radio reported hundreds of marchers; Ynet reported thousands.

Organizations and political parties such as Hadash, Meretz and Gush Shalom put together the march.
