Since last Friday, the Israeli army has stepped up its ground operations in the Gaza Strip and intensified the bombings it has carried out since October 7, killing more than 8,300 Palestinians and wounding more than 21,000.
The Israeli army on Monday announced the release of soldier Ori Megidish, abducted by the Palestinian group Hamas during its ground operations in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military said in a statement that Megidish was kidnapped by Hamas during the October 7 attack on Israeli territory.
The military has said the soldier has undergone a medical examination, is doing well and has already been reunited with her family. He also adds that “every effort will be made to free the hostages.”

Since October 7, Hamas has released four hostages: American mother and daughter Judith and Natalie Raanan, who were released on October 20, and elderly Israeli women Yochved Lifshitz and Nurit Cooper, who were released by the Islamist organization a week ago.
This Monday, the Palestinian Islamist group published a video in which three Israeli women allegedly held captive in the Gaza Strip blame Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for what happened on October 7.
Shortly afterwards, Netanyahu called the recording “cruel psychological propaganda.”
