The Israel Hamas War has been going on for the last six months and thousands of lives have been lost on both sides. It seems that finally the war and bloodshed may come to an end as the Israeli War Cabinet meet late at night to discuss release of hostages.
A member of Israel’s War Cabinet cast doubt on the country’s strategy for releasing hostages held by Hamas, saying only a cease-fire can free them, as the prime minister rejected the United States' calls to scale back its offensive.
Israeli soldiers ignored cries for "help" when they stormed a Gaza building holding three hostages just days before killing them by mistake, said a military investigation published on Thursday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Gaza war was exacting a "very heavy price" as the death count of soldiers killed in fighting with Hamas mounted.
Immediately after Israel's war in Gaza ends, all Palestinian factions including Hamas must take a serious look at the failure of their policies to achieve freedom for their people, a top Palestinian Authority official said.
