The brutal cross-border attack launched by Hamas on October 7, 2023, resulted in the death of 1,200 people and the taking of 251 hostages, marking a devastating milestone in Israeli history.
Israel's military response in Gaza has led to an alarming humanitarian crisis, with over 44,000 fatalities reported, reflecting the unprecedented scale of violence and suffering among civilians.
While there was temporary progress in hostages being freed, the resumption of hostilities on December 1, 2023, significantly hindered further negotiations and the potential release of remaining captives.
The hostage exchange agreement initiated on November 24, 2023 resulted in the release of 78 hostages by Hamas, which highlights the complex and ongoing negotiations amid international pressures.
