According to the Israeli government, the restoration of heavy Israeli attacks in Gaza immediately questioned the status of the remaining hostages kept there by Hamas and other groups – according to the Israeli government, less than half of the 59, according to the Israeli government.
Recent New York Times analysis shows that at least 41 hostages have been killed during their imprisonment by Hamas and its allies. During the attacks on October 7, 2023, 251 people were taken to Gaza, and 130 of them were released. The Israeli army recovered the bodies of at least 40 others.
In January, Israel and Hamas agreed with a multi -faceted war that would allow Hamas occupied hostage in Gaza, which would be in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israel.
The first phase of the ceasefire ended in early March. Hamas released 30 Israeli and foreign hostages and handed over eight bodies in exchange for Israeli release of more than a thousand Palestinian prisoners. Many hostages were already rescued or released before reaching the deal.
Following the launch of heavy attacks in Gaza on Tuesday, citing repeated refusal to release the remaining hostages of Israel, after Israel launched heavy attacks in Gaza, however, the fate of the fire was unclear. Earlier this month, President Trump sent a warning to Hamas militants to immediately release the rest of the hostages in Gaza or face death.
Hamas accused Israel on Tuesday to end the ceasefire, “exposing prisoners in Gaza with unknown fate.”
