2 hostages released by Hamas as air raids continue | Israel-Hamas War Latest

(ASSOCIATED PRESS) Israel ramped up its airstrikes Monday in Gaza, where the death toll was rising rapidly, and the United States advised Israel to delay an expected ground invasion to allow more time to negotiate the release of hostages taken by Hamas militants.

A third small aid convoy from Egypt entered Gaza, where the population of 2.3 million has been running out of food, water and medicine under Israel’s two-week seal. With Israel still barring entry of fuel, the U.N. said its distribution of aid would grind to a halt within days when it can no longer fuel its trucks. Gaza hospitals are struggling to keep generators running to power life-saving medical equipment and incubators for premature babies.

Heavy airstrikes demolished buildings across Gaza, including in areas where Palestinians were told to seek refuge, killing hundreds and sending new waves of wounded into already packed hospitals, according to Palestinian officials and witnesses. After a strike in Gaza City, a woman with blood on her face wept as she clasped the hand of a dead relative. At least three bodies were sprawled on the street, one lying in a gray stream of water.

Late Monday, Hamas announced that it had freed an additional two hostages on humanitarian grounds. Israeli media, citing an anonymous official, confirmed the release, but there was no formal announcement from the Israeli side. The Associated Press could not independently confirm the release.

Hamas released an American woman and her teenage daughter last week in what it said was a humanitarian gesture mediated by Qatar.

Israel is widely expected to launch a ground offensive in Gaza, vowing to destroy Hamas after its brutal Oct. 7 rampage into southern Israeli communities. That is raising fears of the war spreading beyond Gaza and Israel, as Iranian-backed fighters in the region are warning of possible escalation, including targeting U.S. forces deployed in the Mideast.

So why did they not want to understand the way Palestinians were killed and captured for ages? And continued indiscriminate bombings have killed thousands of Palestinians and destroyed almost all their homes, and the inhumane siege on them continues to kill them without food. Many people are still taken by their lives and some things are being published in the media. Is their life not their life? They say they are Muslims. Is the pain of their relatives not acceptable?

According to the latest IDF data, among the 220 hostages who, according to the military, are most likely being held by terrorists in Gaza, about 30 are children and teenagers, and another 10-20 are elderly.

In addition, according to available data, another 100-200 people have disappeared, whose fate is currently unknown.

The army believes most of the hostages held in Gaza are alive, although several bodies are also known to have been seized by Hamas terrorists.
