126 confirmed Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza – IDF

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has confirmed that there are currently 126 Israeli hostages in Gaza.

Hamas had previously asserted that 13 hostages were killed in Gaza due to Israeli airstrikes, noting that among the casualties were foreigners, without specifying their nationalities.

According to Reuters, the Israeli military has reported that at least 279 of its soldiers have been killed since October 7, when Hamas initiated its attack on southern Israel.

The total number of Israeli casualties has been cited as over 1,300 fatalities.

Gaza’s health ministry has stated that more than 2,300 people have lost their lives in Israel’s bombing campaign in the Gaza Strip since the Hamas attack.

Doctors have raised concerns about the potential for thousands more deaths as medical facilities in the territory face shortages of fuel and supplies.
