Hostage Crisis Unfolds in Gaza and Israel

The Washington Post has verified three videos showing captives held in Gaza and surrounding areas in Israel, with both Hamas and the Israeli military confirming that Hamas militants are holding Israeli military personnel and civilians captive. The videos depict armed men dragging captives away, captured men being paraded through a market area and beaten, and a woman covered in blood being forcibly put into a vehicle. The total number of captives is unknown.
