Tel Aviv/Jerusalem/Washington, October 21 (HS). Missiles are thundering in Gaza after the barbaric attack on Israel by Palestine’s notorious terrorist organization Hamas on the 7th of this month. Rockets are being fired from both sides. The flames of war have started rising in some countries across the border around Israel. Meanwhile, Hamas released two American citizens on Friday night after Qatar’s mediation. These two are mother and daughter Judith (59) and Natalie (17). This is the first time since the war began that a hostage has been released. However, 200 people are still said to be in the custody of Hamas. This information has been given in media reports.

Violence has also started in the West Bank. In the last 24 hours, 13 Palestinians and one Israeli citizen have died here. Russia’s envoy to Israel says Moscow is in talks with Hamas to release the hostages. It is reported that the Israeli army has also arrested 14 Palestinians during an operation in the West Bank city of Ramallah. At the same time, due to the clashes on the border with Israel, more than 4,200 people have been displaced from the villages of South Lebanon.

Reports said Hamas handed Judith and her daughter Natalie over to the Red Cross. After this the Red Cross handed him over to Israel. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has confirmed this and said that 10 Americans are still missing. He said that all hostages should be released immediately and unconditionally. Meanwhile, Israel has ordered the evacuation of Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza City. It is being said that more than a thousand people are present in the hospital and surrounding areas. The hospital administration has refused to vacate it.

According to reports, US President Joe Biden has asked the US Parliament to release an emergency fund of $105 billion. Of these, $10.6 billion will be given to Israel. $61.4 billion will be given to Ukraine to purchase weapons and other essential items. With this, this war seems to be taking a new form. After Hamas and Hezbollah, Yemen’s Houthi rebels have also started attacking Israel. The Israeli army has not yet started ground operations in the Gaza Strip.

Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Galant has said in the Defense Committee meeting that his priority is to first destroy the military capability of Hamas in the Gaza Strip. After this the ground attack will be launched. This is the first phase of the war. Hamas bases are being destroyed by air strikes. In the second phase, secret agents of Hamas will be eliminated. In the third phase, a new security system will be built in Gaza. But Israel will have no role in this.

Some reports say that trucks loaded with relief materials could not reach Gaza even on Friday from the Rafah border crossing on the border of Gaza and Egypt. UN chief Guterres has expressed displeasure over this. On the other hand, Israel has evacuated its northern city Kiryat Shmona. It is very close to the Lebanon border. There are continuous rocket and missile attacks on Israel from Lebanon. Therefore, it was necessary to keep the citizens safe. Amidst the horrors of war, the Biden administration has given new facilities to the citizens of Israel. He will be able to go to America without visa for 90 days.
