A nationwide strike aimed at ramping up pressure on Israel's government to secure the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza was set to begin on Sept. 2. Pope : We are called to live our faith consistently in prayer and practiceA picture of killed Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin is placed above candles during a vigil accompanied by prayers held for his memory in Jerusalem on Sept. 1, after Israel announced its troops had found six dead hostages in a Gaza tunnel, including Polin.
"We must stop the abandonment of the hostages... I have come to the conclusion that only our intervention can shake those who need to be shaken," said Histadrut union chair Arnon Bar-David.Of the 251 hostages seized during Hamas's Oct. 7 attack on Israel, 97 remain captive in Gaza, including 33 the army says are dead.
The six hostages were identified as Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Almog Sarusi, Ori Danino, US-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin, and Russian-Israeli Alexander Lobanov. A senior Hamas official told AFP on condition of anonymity that"some" of the six had been"approved" for release in a potential hostage-prisoner swap under a deal yet to be agreed.
Across Gaza, a series of"humanitarian pauses" are expected to facilitate a vaccination drive after the first confirmed polio case in 25 years.
