The Hostages and Missing Families Forum has pleaded for the lives of their loved ones after Israel launched an attack in the Gaza Strip, ending the ceasefire and hostage release deal with Hamas. The Forum criticized the government's decision to sacrifice the captives and called for an emergency protest outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office. Israeli airstrikes across Gaza killed at least 326 people, according to the Strip's health ministry. The Families Forum demanded that the prime minister, defense minister, and security chiefs meet with them and explain how the hostages will be protected and brought back.
