At least 34,454 Palestinians have been killed and 77,575 injured in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, the Palestinian enclave’s Ministry of Health announced today.
In the last 24 hours, 66 Palestinians were killed and 138 wounded, the ministry said.
The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas released video yesterday showing two Israeli hostages abducted during its October 7 attack in southern Israel and taken to Gaza.
The two hostages are identified as Keith Siegel, 64, and Omri Miran, 47. The Hostage Families Forum confirmed their identities.
Hamas had already released a video on Wednesday of another Israeli hostage, 23-year-old Hersh Goldberg-Paulin.
This new video is undated but 47-year-old Omri Miran is worried that he has been in the hands of Hamas for 202 days. His 202nd day of captivity falls on Thursday.
The new video is being released amid talks, brokered by Qatar and Egypt, for a ceasefire in the fighting in the Gaza Strip and the release of a number of hostages.
