Hamas Releases Video of Three Israeli Women Hostages
Video Emerges Following UN Court Ruling Calling for Immediate Release of Hostages
- Hamas released a video showing three Israeli women held hostage in Gaza since the October 7 attack. Two of the women are soldiers, and the third is a civilian.
- The video was released after a UN court ruling that Israel should prevent any acts of genocide in Gaza and called for the 'immediate and unconditional release' of hostages.
- The October 7 Hamas attack resulted in the death of around 1,140 people in Israel, most of them civilians, and about 250 hostages were seized.
- Israel says around 132 of the hostages remain in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 28 dead captives.
- At least 26,083 Palestinians, around 70 percent of them women, young children and adolescents, have been killed in the Gaza Strip in Israeli bombardments and ground offensive since then.
