Families of Hostages Plead for Israel to Cease War to Prevent Tragic Loss

The families of hostages held in Gaza have called on Israel to stop fighting and negotiate for their release, following the Israeli army's admission of "mistakenly" killing three hostages. The captives who were killed were carrying a white flag and had cried for help in Hebrew. Relatives of the remaining hostages fear for their loved ones' safety and demand an end to the violence. Around 250 people were taken hostage during Hamas' October 7 attacks on Israel, resulting in a high death toll on both sides.
