Several bodies located in Gaza by Israeli military

The Israel Defense Forces have located bodies in Gaza during combat operations, with the exact number still unknown. President Joe Biden expressed a desire to identify the bodies and called for an end to the war. A statement from the Hostage and Missing Families Forum placed blame on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for abandoning hostages and threatened action. Netanyahu is facing pressure to reach a cease-fire deal with Hamas to secure the release of hostages and end the fighting in Gaza. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with thousands killed and thousands more injured, has drawn international condemnation. Reports suggest the bodies found may be those of hostages, adding to the ongoing tension around the issue. The plight of the hostages has sparked protests and anger in Israeli society towards Netanyahu’s handling of the situation. This is a developing story with updates expected to follow. Lawahez Jabari, Rebecca Cohen, and Sarah Dean are journalists covering this situation from different angles.
