Hamas took more than 200 hostages back into Gaza following October 7th raids
People walk by as a Shabbat Dinner table is prepared with 200 empty seats representing the Israeli hostages and missing people, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, on Friday. Photoraph: Olivier Douliery/AFPThe families of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip have been racked with worry for their loved ones since the military stepped up ground assaults inside the Palestinian territory, a group lobbying for the families said on Saturday.
It said that the hostages being held by Hamas were being subjected to the same heavy bombardment as Palestinian residents and that their families were racked with"anxiety, frustration" that Israel's long-awaited ground invasion will put them in more danger. Israel's air strikes and artillery fire have demolished large swathes of Gaza and killed more than 7,000 people in the last three weeks, Palestinian health officials say, including some 3,000 children.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum criticised Israel’s government for not meeting those whose loved ones are still held while Israel presses its assault.
