Israeli army says 224 ‘prisoners’ held in Gaza
JERUSALEM (AA) – The Israeli army has announced that the number of Israeli prisoners in Gaza has increased to 224 while the number of soldiers killed since the beginning of war on October 7 has risen to 309.
Daniel Hagari, Israeli army spokesperson, said at a press conference: “The families of 309 soldiers have been notified, along with the families of 224 prisoners.”
He further stated: “We will continue executing field operations to locate the prisoners and the missing individuals. This number is subject to change, and we will ensure that the families of those abducted and missing are kept updated.”
He said the Israeli military’s overnight raid in northern Gaza was a limited operation, explaining: “The Israeli forces conducted a targeted raid last night as part of our preparations for the next stages of the combat. This operation is aimed at addressing threats, neutralizing militants, disposing of explosives, and eliminating potential ambushes to facilitate the subsequent stages.”
He added: “The raid continued for several hours, and our forces left without any casualties.”
The war on Gaza began on October 7. There has been a relentless bombardment of civilian areas in the Gaza Strip.
Nearly 6,546 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed so far.
Gaza’s 2.3 million residents have run out of food, water, medicine, and fuel, and aid convoys allowed into Gaza have managed to carry only a fraction of what is needed.
