Anger grew in the Arab world over Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza as the search for the missing mounted. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said Israeli troops are still preparing for a full ground invasion, while the U.S. and other countries urged Israel to delay, fearing it could ignite hostilities on other Middle East fronts.

Israel has bombarded the densely populated Gaza Strip following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israeli communities. The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said 7,028 Palestinians had been killed in the retaliatory air strikes, including 2,913 children.
