"Israeli Hostage Sahar Baruch Dies in Botched IDF Rescue Operation in Gaza"

Israeli military confirmed that hostage Sahar Baruch was killed during a failed rescue attempt by Israeli special forces, with uncertainty whether his death was caused by Hamas or friendly fire. The incident occurred amidst heightened tensions following a Hamas-led assault and the recent killing of a top Hamas leader, Saleh al-Arouri, by an Israeli strike. In response to escalating violence, international figures like EU's Josep Borrell and countries like Egypt are pushing for diplomatic solutions to the conflict, while Israeli officials face criticism for proposals regarding Palestinian displacement.
