Hostage Video and Renewed Ceasefire Talks Amid Intensified Israel-Gaza Conflict


Hamas has released a video showing 19-year-old Israeli captive Liri Albag, urging her government to negotiate for her release. Albag, along with six other female soldiers, was captured during Hamas's October 2023 assault on Israel. Despite indirect talks between Israel and Hamas over a ceasefire and hostage release, Israel's military continues intensive airstrikes on Gaza, resulting in heavy casualties, including the deaths of 88 people in the past 24 hours. The conflict has led to widespread devastation, with civilians suffering from bombings and rocket attacks.


Israel's President Isaac Herzog pledged to continue negotiating for the hostagesā€™ return, while Albagā€™s parents appealed for immediate action from the Israeli government.

The war, which began on October 7, 2023, has already claimed over 1,200 Israeli lives, with 251 still held captive by Hamas.
