138 hostages still held by Gaza militants, say Israeli authorities

Hindustan Times  

Israel now counts 138 hostages held by Gaza militants, authorities told AFP on Tuesday, after adding to the list one person previously considered missing since Hamas's October 7 attacks. Previously, Israeli officials had said 137 hostages were still inside the Gaza Strip and included 20 women and two children. Israel has responded with an intense military campaign aimed at eliminating Islamist group Hamas which controls Gaza, and since October 27 has sent ground forces into the narrow Palestinian enclave. A seven-day truce which began in late November saw 105 hostages released from Gaza captivity, including 80 who were freed in exchange for 240 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
