Yossi Sharabi and Itay Svirsky, two of the three hostages in the video released by Hamas on Sunday evening, have died. This is hinted at in a new video published, Noa Argamani, the kidnapped girl who appeared in the same video posted on Telegram by the terrorist group. In the video - which has not been published in Israel - you can see images of the two hostages as lifeless men. According to Argamani's account, which could not be verified, the two "were killed in two separate Israeli bombings."
Hundreds of Gazans have been filmed storming humanitarian aid trucks in Gaza. This was reported by Haaretz, which quotes al Jazeera attaching a video of him. The filmed area is expected to be that of Moassi, on the coast of Rafah, in the south of the Strip, where displaced people from the north are massed.

"The commando operation in Raanana is a natural response to the massacres of the occupation and its continued aggression against our Palestinian people." Hamas said this on Telegram about the terrorist attack in the city in central Israel, adding that "the heroes of the people from Rafah to Jenin will continue the defense of the people, the land and the holy places in the face of the criminal Nazi enemy" and "the Zionist war machine in the West Bank and Gaza Strip."

Biden: 'We will not stop working to free the hostages'
"I will never forget the pain and suffering I felt in my meetings with the families of the American hostages." This was stated by US President Joe Biden in a statement 100 days after October 7, quoted by the Times of Israel. America is still working to bring home "more than 100 innocent people, including at least six Americans, who are still being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza," he said. "I reaffirm once again my promise to all hostages and their families: we are with you. We will never stop working to bring Americans home," Biden said.
"One hundred days of captivity in Gaza is just too long. The United States will not rest until all remaining hostages, including six Americans, are reunited with their loved ones," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrote on X, echoing an earlier statement by President Joe Biden.
