Hamas Abducts Israeli Grandmothers, Sparks Hostage Crisis in Gaza

Hamas gunmen have kidnapped Israeli civilians, including grandmothers, and taken them into the Gaza Strip on golf carts and motorcycles. The kidnapping comes after Hamas claimed to have fired 5,000 rockets into Israel, prompting retaliatory strikes and a vow of revenge from Israel. Reports suggest that around 50 Israelis have been taken hostage by Hamas militants. The conflict has escalated, with airstrikes, border breaches, and residential buildings targeted. World leaders have condemned the violence, and Israel's Prime Minister has declared the country to be at war.
