Israeli Hostage Held by Hamas Found Dead; Netanyahu Vows to Continue War Despite International Pressure

Nine IDF soldiers were ambushed and killed in the Gaza Strip, while Israel starts flooding Hamas' tunnels with seawater. The bodies of two Israeli hostages held by Hamas have been repatriated from Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will continue its war on Hamas "with or without international support." The families of Israeli hostages demanded clarification from Netanyahu after the decision to suspend talks on a new hostage deal. The Biden administration does not plan to place conditions on military aid to Israel.
