In a developing incident, Palestinian militant group Hamas has confirmed they have lost contact with members currently held captive by Israel following a recent attack on Gaza. The information was relayed to the press in a statement released late Tuesday night local time. The development comes as tensions between Israel and Hamas escalate following an Israeli airstrike that targeted the Islamic Jihad group’s headquarters in Gaza earlier this week, resulting in several casualties. This latest incident further complicates already tense negotiations aimed at securing the release of captive individuals. The loss of contact highlights the precarious situation on the ground, raising concerns about the potential for escalation and highlighting the complexities of navigating a fragile peace process.
