Mandatory Credit: Photo by ATEF SAFADI/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock (14397541h) Sara Netanyahu (C), the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meets with family members of hostages held in Gaza during a special mass prayer calling for the release of hostages held by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in Gaza and for the well-being of Israeli soldiers, ahead of the Jewish holiday of Purim, at the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, 21 March 2024. According to the Israeli military, 134 Israelis, who were abducted and taken to the Gaza Strip during the 07 October 2023 attacks by Hamas, remain in captivity. Thousands of Israelis and Palestinians have been killed since the militant group Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip on 07 October 2023, and the Israeli strikes on the Palestinian enclave which followed it.
