Hamas took at least 230 hostages
On October 7, Hamas fired rockets at Israel and their henchmen entered the Israeli border and openly opened fire on people and created havoc. During this period, Hamas terrorists killed civilians and took more than hundreds hostage. In response to this, the Israeli army is now giving a befitting reply to Hamas in the Gaza Strip. At least 230 hostages are still being held in the Gaza Strip – an important political currency for Hamas as many of them are foreign nationals.
Hamas put this condition to release the hostages
Hamas had earlier released four hostages, including two American citizens, and said a ceasefire was necessary to free the hostages. Along with this, Hamas had called for a prisoner exchange agreement in which the release of all Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails was demanded in exchange for all the hostages held in Gaza.
