The Israeli army estimates in today’s announcement that “the majority of the hostages” who were kidnapped by Hamas during her attack on October 7 they are alive.
Of the approximately 200 hostages now in the Gaza Strip, more than 20 are minors, ten to 20 are over 60 years old, the majority of the hostages are alive, said the Israeli military spokesman, who did not elaborate at this point.
According to the same source, bodies were also transported to the Gaza Strip by the Islamist Palestinians during the bloody attack they launched at dawn on October 7 on Israeli territory on the border with the Gaza Strip.
Moreover, 100 to 200 Israelis are now considered “missing” from the attack, compared to 3,000 on the first day of the war. That number was greatly reduced to the extent that the military was able to confirm their whereabouts.
“At this time, the Israeli army is still conducting operations to find and locate the bodies near the Gaza Strip,” the spokesman clarified.
More than 1,400 people have been killed on Israeli soil by Hamas men since October 7, the majority of them civilians who were shot dead, burned alive or succumbed to their wounds from mutilations during the first day of the Palestinian Islamic Movement’s militant offensive carried out by Gaza, according to Israeli authorities.
According to the Israeli military, about 1,500 Hamas fighters were killed in the counterattack that allowed Israel to regain control of the areas that had been attacked.
In the Gaza Strip, at least 3,700 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been killed by incessant shelling by the Israeli military in retaliation, according to the Hamas Health Ministry in Gaza.
