The Israel Defense Forces have located bodies in Gaza during combat operations, with speculation that they may be hostages taken by Hamas in a previous attack. President Joe Biden has commented on the situation, urging an end to the war. The Hostage and Missing Families Forum has blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for failing to secure the release of the hostages. Netanyahu faces mounting pressure to reach a cease-fire deal with Hamas. The conflict has resulted in a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, drawing international condemnation and isolating Netanyahu on the global stage. Over 1,200 people have been killed in Israel and around 250 are still being held hostage by Hamas. The situation is currently developing, and updates are expected. Journalists Lawahez Jabari, Rebecca Cohen, and Sarah Dean have been covering the story from Tel Aviv and have extensive experience reporting on the Middle East conflict.
