The fate of Edan Alexander, a US-Israeli hostage featured in a rejected truce proposal by Hamas, remains unclear, despite the release of a video showing another captive alive. Hamas reported that the body of a guard connected to Alexander was recovered following an Israeli strike, while they claimed to have lost contact with the unit holding him. Amid ongoing violence, protests in Israel are calling for the government’s action to secure the release of hostages, as casualties in Gaza continue to rise amid renewed Israeli military operations.
