Jerusalem, Undefined – AFP
Three Israelis who had been considered missing since the October 7 attacks by Hamas are being held in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army announced Thursday.
“Three citizens who were considered missing are now recognised as hostages and their families have been informed,” military spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters.
This brings to 132 the number of people held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip since the October 7 attacks, according to figures provided by Israeli officials.
On October 7 Hamas carried out a wave of deadly attacks on southern Israel that resulted in the deaths of around 1,140 people in Israel, according to an AFP tally based on the latest official Israeli figures.
Some 250 people were also taken prisoners during the attack, 100 of whom have since been freed.
In response, Israel has killed more than 22,000 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, during the last three months. It has bombed residential complex, markets as well as hospitals.
