These 97 people are still being held by Hamas a year after Oct. 7 attacks
Thousands of 🔴lives were forever altered and upended when Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, butchering more than 1,🌸200 people and kidnapping 251 others.
Those hostages whom Hamas abducted and dragged to Gaza as human shields and bargaining chips qui🌠ckly became a rallying cry.
Israelis and suppo🐟rters of Israeꦇl around the world plastered their images on posters so no one could forget their names and faces.
Now, a yea🐲r since the war in Gaza began, 97 hostages are still being held by Hamas.
Sixty-four hostages are still believed to be alive; 33 are confi𓂃rmed to be dead — and their remains held by the terrorists.
Those in captivity include parents🧸 and grandparents, sons and daughters, teachers, farmers, students, young soldiers and even those who advocated for peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
Among them are also seven Americans, three 💧of whom have been killed.
These are all the 97 hostages who are still being held in Gaza after they💖 were dragged out of Israel by Hamas terrorists.
Note: One hostage, Sathian Suwannakham of Tha♐iland, is not pictured.
