Gaza:
Hamas said on Tuesday that an Israeli-American was “lost” with prisoners of an Israeli-American hostage after an Israeli strike, whose release allegedly takes the center stage in Israel’s latest resolution for a renewed ceasefire.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited North Gaza on Tuesday, announced by his office, as the army maintained the aggressive starting on March 18, effectively ending the two -month ceasefire.
Talking to the soldiers, he said that Hamas would continue the “shock after the shock”.
In a statement by Telegram, Hamas’s military wing spokesman Abu Obida said Ezedin al-Kasam Brigade: “We declare that we have lost contact with a group of Soldier Edan Alexander after a direct strike in our place.”
“We are still trying to reach them at this time,” he said.
The military wing later released a video addressed to the families of the remaining hostages, warned them that their loved ones were likely to return to the coffins if Israel maintained the bombing of the region.
On the video images of masked terrorists carrying black coffins out of the white van in the dark, the video gave a subtitle message in English, Arabic and Hebrew.
“Be ready. Soon, your children will return to black coffins with their bodies torn by pellets from their army missiles,” the message warns.
Hamas’s armed wing released a video on Saturday showing Alexander Alave, in which he criticized the Israeli government for failing to secure his release.
The Alexander footage appeared speaking under the Duresh, which consistently led to the gestures of the hand, as he criticized the Netanyahu government.
AFP was unable to determine when the video was filmed.
Alexander was serving in an elite infantry unit on the Gaza border when the Palestinian terrorists were abducted by the Palestinian terrorists during the October 2023 attack.
The soldier, who was 21 years old in captivity, was born in Tel Aviv and was raised in the US state of New Jersey, returning to Israel after high school to join the army.
‘Since the gesture of goodwill’
Hamas said on Monday that he had received a new truste offer from Israel, which reflects the release of 10 living hostages starting with Alexander in exchange for a 45 -day ceasefire.
A Hamas official said that the Israeli proposal called Alexander’s release on the first day of the ceasefire as a “gesture of goodwill”.
This was given to the group delegation at Cairo by Egyptian officials over the weekend, and a senior Hamas official told the AFP that the group would “most likely” the most likely to react within 48 hours.
Another Hamas official said that Israel had also demanded that the Palestinian terrorists were dispersing to end the Gaza war, but said it crossed a “red line”.
Out of 251 hostages taken during Hamas’s October 2023 attack, a total of 58 remain in captivity, with 34 Israeli army say that they have died.
In Northern Gaza, Netanyahu told the soldiers, “They are hitting the enemy and will keep jerking after blowing us.
French President Emmanuel Macron told Netanyahu in a telephone call on Tuesday that only one ceasefire in Gaza could free the remaining hostages.
The suffering of Gajan citizens should “finish”, he called for “opening all humanitarian aid crossings” in the Palestinian region.
Israel has cut all assistance in the Gaza Strip from 2 March for pressure on Hamas.
The United Nations has warned that Gaza’s humanitarian crisis is out of control, which has no help, entered the area for a month.
To coordinate the coordination of the United Nations (OCHA), the United Nations office said, “Human situation is now possible that it is the worst in 18 months since the outbreak of hostility.”
Macron angered Israel last week when he suggested that Paris could identify a Palestinian state during a United Nations Conference in New York in June.
Netanyahu’s office said that he told Macron on Tuesday that a Palestinian kingdom would be “a huge reward for terrorism”.
