Israeli forces say they have recovered the bodies of three captives detained in the Gaza Strip since the attack on Hamas in 2023, said the army, while its bombing and its attacks in the besieged enclave killed more than 30 Palestinians, according to hospital officials.
The army said on Sunday that Ofra Keidar’s bodies, Yonatan Samerano and soldier Shay Levinson were recovered from Gaza “in a special operation”.
The father of Samerano announced earlier Sunday that the body of his 21 -year -old son, who was taken to Gaza after being murdered on October 7, 2023, was recovered by the Israeli army.
Keidar, a mother of three 71 -year -olds, was also killed on the day, while the 19 -year -old tanks, Levinson, “hired and fought terrorists on the morning of October 7 and fell into battle,” said an army statement.
According to Israeli authorities, more than 1,100 people were killed and around 250 captive during the attack led by Hamas against southern Israel. At least 50 of these captives remain in Gaza, 20 of which were still alive, according to Israeli media.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that the country’s continuous conflict with Iran would help him win his war in Gaza and return the captives.
“We are getting closer, step by step, to our objectives: to defeat Hamas and bring our hostages back to the house … I am convinced that the operation in Iran helps us to achieve our goal in Gaza,” said Netanyahu.
Hamas has repeatedly said that it was ready to release all Israeli captives in exchange for a permanent end of the war against Gaza, the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the enclave and the release of all the Palestinian prisoners of Israeli prisons.
But Netanyahu rejected the conditions and continued her war on the Gaza Strip, which killed around 56,000 Palestinians, most women and children – a brutal offensive that the United Nations, most governments and rights for the rights are a genocide.
More recently, hungry Palestinians desperate for food and other essential items are slaughtered, with more than 400 people killed and nearly 2,000 injured from Gaza Humaninian Foundation (GHF), a controversial group supported by the United States and Israel, began to distribute help last month.
Israeli forces have killed at least 33 Palestinians since dawn on Sunday, including six by asking for help, hospital sources in Gaza told Gaza. The Gaza Ministry of Health said that at least 51 Palestinians had been killed in the past 24 hours.
Since March 18, when Israel has broken a two-month fragile ceasefire and has launched a massive assault against Gaza, at least 5,647 Palestinians were killed and 19 20101 injured, according to the ministry.
“The situation collapses and deteriorates”
Deir El-Balah’s reports, Central Gaza, the posterior Khoudary of Tel Aviv Tribune have declared that Israeli forces continue to target different residential areas through the distribution points of the enclave and aid.
“Israeli forces continue to attack the aid seekers who were very close to the distribution points of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, where at least seven Palestinians have been killed since this morning,” said Khoudary.
“In hospitals here through the Gaza Strip, the situation collapses and deteriorates while Gaza hospitals lack fuel and also medical supplies.”
Medical services in Gaza say that ambulances have completely ceased to operate in Gaza City due to the ban on fuel Israel entering the enclave.
The Israeli blockage of food and medication has pushed its entire population by more than two million on the brink of famine.
On Sunday, another Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent in Gaza said that at least six people had been killed during the night during a used breakdown on the Internet imposed by Israel which lasted five hours and was accompanied by high Israeli artillery pulling targeting areas in the east and the center of Gaza.
Three of them were killed after a rocket struck a tent lodging the Palestinians moved to Al-Mawasi west of Khan Younis City. A man and his wife were killed in another strike targeting an apartment north of Nuseirat.
On Sunday, Pope Leo XIV of the Catholic Church called on the world not to forget the humanitarian crisis in Gaza while the conflict in the Middle East has widened with American strikes on the night on Iran.
“In this context which includes Israel and Palestine, there is a risk that the daily suffering of peoples will be forgotten, in particular in Gaza and in other territories, where there is an ever greater emergency for adequate humanitarian aid,” he said.
