Israeli Captives' Families : Ending Gaza war Only way to bring Our sons Home
Occupied Quds – Saba: The families of Israeli captives warned on Sunday against the expansion of the Israeli occupation forces' military operations in the Gaza Strip, stressing that the only way to secure the return of their captive sons is through a deal—even if the price is ending the war. During a meeting with the Israeli occupation army's Chief of Staff, war criminal Eyal Zamir, the families cautioned against endangering the remaining captives amid the escalating aggression on Gaza, according to the "Sanad" News Agency. They stated that expanding the war would lead to more captives being killed, noting that "41 captives have already been killed due to military operations," based on testimonies from released prisoners who reported deteriorating conditions under Israeli bombardment. The families rejected the expansion of the Israeli army's attacks on Gaza, warning that "military pressure" threatens the lives of the remaining captives. Meanwhile, the criminal Zamir claimed that recovering the hostages remains the army's "top priority." The families emphasized, "Expanding the bombardment puts the captives at real risk, and this danger has already cost us the lives of our loved ones." They stressed that the only way to bring the survivors home is through an agreement—even if it means ending the war. "We are sounding the alarm for the remaining 58 captives, so they may return alive and allow the burial of those who have died,"the families said. With American and European support, the Israeli occupation army has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 54,418 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 124,190 others—a non-final toll, as thousands remain trapped under rubble or in streets, unreachable by rescue teams.

Israeli strike kills 20 people in Gaza school
At least 20 people have been killed and dozens wounded in an Israeli strike on a school housing displaced people in Gaza, as Israel steps up its military campaign in the enclave. Local local health authorities told Reuters about the attack early on Monday, with medics saying there are dozens of casualties in the strike on the school, at Daraj neighbourhood in Gaza City, including women and children. Some of the bodies were badly burned according to images circulating on social media, which Reuters could not immediately verify. There was no immediate comment by the Israeli military however a leading Israeli commander said on Sunday the military was stepping up its activities in the embattled Gaza Strip, as dozens of Palestinians were reportedly killed in fresh attacks. "We are intensifying our activity in accordance with the established plan," chief of the General Staff Eyal Zamir said. "Hamas is under immense pressure. It has lost most of its assets and its command and control," Zamir said during a visit to troops in the city of Khan Younis in the south of the coastal territory. "We will deploy every tool at our disposal to bring the hostages home, dismantle Hamas, and dismantle its rule," he asserted. "This is not an endless war. We aim to end it by achieving its objectives," he added. Israeli media previously reported the military had moved all its regular infantry and tank brigades into the Gaza Strip. The armed forces are currently deployed in various areas of the embattled coastal region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently announced plans to capture the entire Gaza Strip. Israel's actions in the coastal area, home to around two million Palestinians, have been met with massive international criticism. There is also growing criticism among the Israeli population, with opinion polls indicating that many are in favour of ending the war in Gaza. The armed forces launched a new major offensive in Gaza about a week ago. Dozens of deaths have since been reported daily in the Gaza Strip. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza said at least 38 people were killed in the past day. A further 204 people were injured during the past 24 hours, the authority said on Sunday. The figures don't include victims registered in hospitals in northern Gaza, as access to the area is currently too difficult. Meanwhile, humanitarian aid deliveries have resumed after a nearly three-month halt. According to COGAT, the Israeli authority for Palestinian affairs, a total of 107 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing on Sunday. The shipments included flour for bakeries and food, COGAT said in a statement. "The IDF [Israel Defense Forces] will continue to facilitate humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip while making every effort to ensure that the aid does not reach the hands of the Hamas terrorist organisation," it added. Israel had blocked aid deliveries since early March, accusing Hamas of reselling the aid supplies to finance its fighters and weapons. The United Nations and aid organisations are warning of famine in the coastal strip. Aid workers have said the quantities that have arrived in Gaza are not sufficient to alleviate the population's suffering. The Israeli campaign, triggered after Hamas Islamist militants attacked Israeli communities on October 7, 2023, killing about 1200 people, has devastated Gaza and pushed nearly all of its two million residents from their homes. The offensive has killed more than 53,000 people, many of them civilians, according to Gaza health authorities. with dpa At least 20 people have been killed and dozens wounded in an Israeli strike on a school housing displaced people in Gaza, as Israel steps up its military campaign in the enclave.
