The Israeli army has issued a warning to the government regarding the potential risks involved in conducting a large-scale military operation in Gaza without reaching an agreement with Hamas. According to local media reports, the lives of Israeli hostages could be endangered if such an operation takes place. The warning comes in light of recent discoveries of Israeli hostages’ bodies in the Gaza Strip.
Israel currently holds over 9,500 Palestinian prisoners in its jails and estimates that 101 Israeli hostages are being held in Gaza. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to casualties on both sides, with Hamas claiming that Israeli air strikes have killed dozens of their hostages.
The Israeli government is under pressure to negotiate a deal with Hamas to secure the release of the remaining hostages and establish a ceasefire. However, disagreements over key issues such as the presence of Israeli military forces in the Philadelphi Corridor along the Gaza-Egypt border have stalled mediation efforts.
The conflict has resulted in numerous casualties and a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with shortages of essential supplies exacerbating the situation. As the international community calls for a halt to military operations and a peaceful resolution, the Israeli government faces mounting criticism over its handling of the crisis.
