Hamas has reported the killing of a female hostage during Israeli military operations in northern Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have not confirmed the claim but are in contact with the woman’s family. Hamas restored communication with the captors, leading to the discovery of her death. The situation remains dire as Israeli airstrikes have resulted in significant casualties, with approximately 60 hostages still believed to be alive amidst ongoing hostilities that started following the October 7 attack on Israel.
