Gisslan i Gaza: Deras öde blev fångat

Soldater, civilians, and children have been kidnapped and taken into Gaza. In its channels, Hamas shows how people are captured and taken away. Hamas says that during the day, they will announce how many Israelis are being held hostage. ”The main goal is to release Palestinian prisoners from the occupiers,” says a Hamas spokesperson to NRK. Meanwhile, Hamas has taken over several villages in southern Israel, and images of people being kidnapped by armed men have been circulating. Some of those captured have reportedly been freed, but the Israeli military has confirmed that around 100 people are still being held hostage. The main objective of this operation, according to Hamas, is to put pressure on the occupying power to release Palestinian prisoners.
