Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. Witnesses emotionally detailed their last conversations with loved one
The Israeli Defense Forces on Tuesday confirmed the death of Itay Chen, a dual American and Israeli citizen who was believed to have been taken hostage when Hamas launched attacks on Israel in October.
(RNS) — An estimated 23,380 American citizens currently serve in Israeli ranks. Three are now hostage in Gaza.
Gaza health officials say another eight Palestinians were killed and several others were wounded in an Israeli air strike on a house in Rafah, a place where over half of the territory’s 2.3 million people are sheltering.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the “imperative” necessity of continuing negotiations to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas.
