A three-day ceasefire has begun in Gaza for the polio campaign. Meanwhile, reports have emerged that a large number of bodies have been found in the tunnels of Gaza. The Israeli army says that these bodies may be of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. The IDF said, efforts are currently being made to retrieve the bodies and identify them.
On the other hand, Qatar, Egypt and America are trying for peace and ceasefire in Gaza. US President Joe Biden said that now the time has come to end the war. He said that he is still hopeful about the release of the hostages. We think we are close to a deal. Let us tell you that according to Israel, Hamas had taken 103 people hostage. Most of them were Israelis.
At least 89 people have been killed and 205 others injured in Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip in Palestine in the last three days. The Palestinian Health Ministry gave this information on Saturday. The ministry said, “In the last 48 hours, Israeli occupation forces have killed five families in the Gaza Strip. In which 89 people died and 205 injured have been admitted to various hospitals.”
He said the death toll of Palestinians in Gaza has reached 40,691 since Hamas launched a fierce attack on Israel on October 7 last year. About 1,200 people were killed in the attack and more than 250 others were taken hostage. The death toll has reached more than 40 thousand and more than 94,000 others have been injured since Israel’s counter-attack on the Gaza Strip began.
It is worth noting that the Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip in retaliation after the Hamas attack. Israel had announced a complete blockade of the area, cutting off the supply of water, electricity, fuel, food and medicines to the besieged Gaza Strip. (With inputs from Varta)
