Campaign of 'Psychological Terror' and 'Inhuman Behavior'; Hamas Released Another Video of an Israeli Hostage

The Israeli army announced that following the release of a video on social media featuring Noa Marciano, an Israeli hostage held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, it has sent representatives to inform her family. In response to the video's release, the Israeli army stated, 'Hamas continues to employ a campaign of psychological terror and inhuman behavior through the dissemination of films and photos of hostages.' The Israeli army also emphasized, 'We are utilizing all intelligence and operational resources to bring the hostages home.' Conflicting reports have emerged on social media suggesting that Noa Marciano has been killed; however, as of the publication of this news, no credible news sources have confirmed the death of this Israeli hostage. Hamas militants, supported financially and militarily by the Islamic Republic, targeted Israel with rocket attacks on October 7, killing at least 1,200 people, including civilians and military personnel, and taking over 240 hostages, including children, women, and the elderly. The United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, Israel, and several other countries classify Hamas as a terrorist organization. Hamas has taken a prominent Israeli-Palestinian peace advocate hostage. Macron contacted the Israeli president following his controversial remarks. In response to Israeli officials' reactions, Macron stated he does not believe Israel intentionally targets civilians. The Israeli army reported that since the beginning of ground operations in Gaza, it has attacked 5,000 Hamas targets. Netanyahu's response to Macron's criticism: 'Do not condemn Israel; the responsibility for civilian casualties in Gaza lies with Hamas.' Israeli media: The likelihood of the release of around 100 hostages has increased.
