US EditionContact with two hostages 'lost' during Israeli operations in Gaza, Hamas's armed group says
Hamas lost communication with two Israeli hostages amid heavy Israeli airstrikes and ground operations in Gaza City, calling for a 24-hour ceasefire to protect them, the group said.
- On Sunday, Al-Qassam Brigades said it lost communication with two Israeli hostages, Omri Miran and Matan Angrest, in Gaza City amid heavy bombardment over the past 48 hours.
- Israel's air and ground campaign escalated as the Israeli air force struck about 140 targets across Gaza and Israel's 98th and 162nd Divisions expanded control around Gaza City.
- Calling for a 24-hour pause, Hamas's al-Qassam Brigades demanded Israel halt air sorties and withdraw south of Road 8, warning the lives of the two hostages are in `real danger`.
- The assault has displaced between 350,000 and 400,000 Palestinians since last month, and local health authorities said they could not respond while the Civil Emergency Service in Gaza reported 73 denied rescue requests via international organisations.
- With mediation stalled, Hamas said negotiations remain halted after Israel tried to assassinate top Hamas leaders on September 9, while Israel says 48 captives remain, about 20 believed alive.
