Hamas Warns Hostages May Return 'In Coffins' Amid Israeli Strikes

Hamas has issued a stark warning that the remaining hostages may be killed if Israel continues its military operations and attempts to retrieve them by force, stating that their bombardment endangers the captives' lives. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has responded with threats to seize parts of Gaza if Hamas does not release the hostages, asserting that stronger pressure will be applied. Since the resumption of Israeli strikes last week, reports indicate a significant death toll in Gaza, with at least 830 Palestinians killed, bringing the overall casualty figures to alarming levels. The warning from Hamas comes amid renewed violence following a fragile ceasefire, with both sides accusing each other of escalating the conflict. In an unusual display of dissent, protests against Hamas rule have emerged in Gaza, with demonstrators calling for an end to the war. The situation remains tense, with both military actions and hostage negotiations continuing to unfold.
