Israel-Hamas war: 6 Israeli hostages killed by Hamas, bodies found in tunnel
It seems that Israel-Hamas war is not going to end soon. As the Israel-Hamas war entered its 332nd day on September 2, the conflict showed no signs of resolution. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continued its intensive operations in Gaza, aiming to free Israeli hostages. Tragedy struck as six Israeli hostages, abducted alive on October 7, were found dead in a southern Gaza tunnel. The hostages were murdered between August 29-30, according to the Israeli Health Ministry. Global leaders expressed their shock and grief, with US President Biden condemning the killings, French President Macron demanding an immediate ceasefire and hostage release, and Australian PM Anthony Albanese and UK PM Keir Starmer also offering condolences. Currently, 97 of the 251 hostages taken by Hamas remain in Gaza, with some released during a brief truce in late November and a few prior to that.
Hamas chief death: Mossad hired IRGC agents in May to plant explosives
The day after Hamas chief`s death The Telegraph reported that Israeli Mossad agents, working with Iranian Revolutionary Guards, planted explosives in the guesthouse where Haniyeh was staying. The plan to kill him during a funeral was canceled due to the large crowd, so the agents planted explosives in three rooms instead. If true, this would be a significant security breach for Iran. However, the Israeli Defense Forces deny involvement in attacks around that time, except for a separate killing in Beirut. Earlier, The New York Times reported that Haniyeh was killed by a remote-controlled bomb that was smuggled in two months prior. Iran has arrested over two dozen people, including high-ranking officials, in connection with his death.
