“I have been looking for my daughter for 27 hours and nobody is helping us,” said mother of missing woman
Fears are growing that Israel will not be able to rescue more than 100 hostages that are being held by Hamas, including soldiers, children and elderly civilians.
Mr Ben Menachem said that the presence of hostages in Gaza was a “big complication” for Israel’s assault on the strip and that“First the army will want to show some achievements on the ground and then they would negotiate about the hostages from a position of strength,” said Mr Ben Menachem. “I have been looking for my daughter for 27 hours and nobody is helping us,” Alin Atias, the mother of a missing woman named Amit Buskila, told Israel’s Channel 12 News.Israelis also shared details of lost relatives on social media. “Our beloved mother, 84-year-old Dietza Hyman, is missing,” one posted on X, formerly Twitter. “We are helpless and torn with worry.”
Some hostages reported being kept captive in their homes for up to 18 hours by gunmen as they engaged in shootouts with Israeli soldiers. Others were killed in their homes.Israel has historically been prepared to pay a high price to recover hostages, releasing more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for captured soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011.
