Hamas Holds Disabled Israeli Teen Hostage in Gaza

A disabled 17-year-old Israeli girl with muscular dystrophy, Rut Perez, has been taken hostage by Hamas militants during the Supernova music festival near the Gaza border. Rut, who relies heavily on her family for support, attended the festival with her sister and father, who are currently missing. Israeli authorities are launching efforts to rescue the hostages, while tensions in the region escalate. Israeli ground forces have conducted raids in Gaza, targeting Palestinian rocket crews and seeking information about the hostages' whereabouts. The UN has condemned Israel's demand for 1.1 million people in northern Gaza to evacuate, citing devastating humanitarian consequences.
