Orit Meir, the mother of an Israeli hostage held in Gaza, wept as she described how she saw him looking terrified in a Hamas video and sent him a message of love and support. Reuters obtained the video from the family but could not independently verify its origin and content.   Around 220 hostages are estimated to still be in the hands of Hamas. In all, 1,400 people were killed by Hamas fighters on Oct. 7, Israel says. The health ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza reported that at least 5,791 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli bombardments since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.   🔗 Read more about the hostage crisis at our link in bio.   #Reuters #video #videonews #topstories #topnews #Israel #Israelis #Hamas #Palestinians #Palestinianterritories #Palestinian #Hamasattack #conflict #Gaza #IsraelHamas #IsraelHamaswar #IsraelHamasconflict
