Israel mourns: Number of killed hostages after Hamas attack corrected

In a tragic development following the devastating Hamas attack on Israel, the number of hostages killed has increased. Israeli forces recently informed the families of 31 hostages about the death of their loved ones. Since the attack in October, more than 130 individuals had been held captive in the Gaza Strip. Daniel Hagari, a military spokesperson, emphasized Israel's ongoing efforts to "create the conditions to bring all hostages home." This adjusted report on the killed hostages follows the coverage by "The New York Times," which was based on a confidential document from the Israeli intelligence service. The information suggested that several hostages were killed during the attack on Israeli territory and some later died in the Gaza Strip from their injuries or were killed by Hamas fighters. Additional cases that have not yet been confirmed could increase the number of fatalities. The latest casualty figures, including two Israeli soldiers who were already killed in 2014, are also evident from a report by "Times of Israel." According to this, in October, 29 people and the two soldiers were abducted from the Gaza Strip and are now declared dead. Of the originally 253 people abducted after the attack, 105 hostages were released last November. More were freed before the ceasefire or by Israeli forces. However, there were also tragic failures – three hostages were accidentally killed by Israeli military fire. These recent reports highlight the ongoing tensions and suffering caused by the conflict between Israel and Hamas. They are a grim reminder of the fate of those who become victims amidst political turmoil.
