Israel-Palestine war: ’Above 100 hostages in Gaza including children and women…’, says Sarit Zehavi

President and Founder of Alma Research and Education Centre, Sarit Zehavi, provided an update on the situation in Israel following the Hamas terrorist attack on October 08. She stated, “600 people were killed since yesterday morning after the invasion of Hamas terrorists into Israel from Gaza. We have 2,000 wounded. And about 100 taking hostage, or maybe above 100 taking hostage in Gaza including children and women.“ She continued, “No, they are not accidental, but it’s not the reason. The timing is definitely symbolic and I believe it was picked that way by the initiators. But, let’s look at the bigger picture. The bigger picture is actually a combination of 2 contradicting trends... This is eventually, contradicted trends that came together to create these very specific attacks against the civilian.“ In a major escalation on October 08, Hamas launched a “surprise attack“ on Israel, firing a barrage of rockets into the southern and central parts of the country, resulting in at least 370 people killed and 2,200 wounded in an airstrike bombing by the Israeli air force on Gaza. #israel #latestnews #gaza #palestine Subscribe to The Times of India’s YouTube channel: For daily news & updates and exclusive stories, follow the Times of India Facebook: Instagram: Download the app: Follow TOI for well-researched and in-depth news and analysis Facebook: Twitter: Instagram:
