Israel-Hamas war: Amidst efforts to end the war, Israel has intensified its military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon. In this series, 28 people died in Israel’s attack on Lebanon on Saturday. The health ministry said 15 people were killed in air strikes in central Beirut. Another 13 people were killed in the attack northeast of the capital.
The Lebanese capital has been attacked for the fourth time this week. An eight-story building in central Beirut was targeted, according to a Lebanese security official. Four missiles were fired at it. A tunnel destroying missile was used in this attack. There was a deep pit at the place where the attack took place.
Hezbollah targeted many places
The Israeli Air Force also targeted several Hezbollah positions in the southern suburbs of Beirut. US Ambassador Amos Hochstein recently visited Lebanon and Israel. Let us tell you that on October 7, 2023, Hamas had carried out a major attack in Israel. Since then, Israel has been waging a military operation in Gaza to eliminate Hamas. Israeli forces are also taking action against Hezbollah, which carries out attacks from Lebanon in support of Hamas. So far 44,176 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli action in Gaza.
120 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks in last 48 hours
An Israeli female hostage died in the attack. Abu Ubaidah, a spokesman for Hamas’s armed wing, said that the Israeli woman who was taken hostage by Hamas died in the Israeli strike. Also, Palestinian doctors said on Saturday that 120 Palestinians have been killed in the last 48 hours in the Israeli military attack on Gaza. An Israeli hospital was also attacked, injuring health workers and damaging equipment. The Israeli military says its aim is to prevent attacks and regrouping by Hamas fighters.
Israeli woman taken hostage dies
Hamas’s armed wing said on Saturday that an Israeli woman taken hostage during an October 2023 attack has died in the northern Gaza war zone, and the Israeli military said it was investigating.
Abu Obaida, a spokesman for the Azzedine al-Qassam Brigades, said the women were able to contact their captors again after a week-long hiatus. It was revealed that the hostage was murdered in the area of northern Gaza where the Israeli army was taking action.
Abu Obaida’s statement did not reveal the identity of the hostage, nor did he say how or when he was killed. The Israeli military told AFP the claim was being investigated. Abu Obaida said the woman was being held along with another female hostage whose life was in danger.
The woman was alive during detention
Terrorists took 251 people hostage during the Hamas offensive that started the Gaza war last year. Of which 97 are still in Gaza. According to the army, out of these 97, 34 have died. Before Abu Obeida’s statement, ten women, including five soldiers, were believed to be alive while under house arrest.
