Israeli hostage ‘killed by guard’ as two women ‘seriously wounded’, Hamas claims

IN the 10 months since Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023, waves of conflict have broken out across the Middle East.

Some 1,200 Israelis and foreigners were killed and 250 taken hostage in the hideous ambush.

115 hostages are believed to still be in Gaza, including 41 whose deaths have been confirmed by the Israeli authorities.

Israel has repeatedly vowed to wipe out every member of Hamas despite civilian collateral in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas claims some 40,000 have died in Gaza - and the IDF say they have killed 15,000 terrorists since October 7.

Most of the Strip has also been destroyed by the fighting and airstrikes, reportedly displacing some two million people from their homes.

Some Israelis have pushed against Netanyahu's regime for a deal that will see the 115 hostages who remain in Gaza alive returned home with protests in Tel Aviv.

Israel is also facing a fresh wave of conflict with Iran and its various other puppet proxies in the region, namely Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen.

Civilians across the region are at risk from the fighting, particularly in Gaza and Lebanon.
