According to major foreign media on the 28th (local time), the 'Forum of Families of Hostages and Missing Persons' issued a statement on the same day, criticizing that "the fate of the hostages held in Gaza, who have become targets of large-scale bombing attacks, is completely uncertain."

They stated, "None of the officials in the wartime cabinet have met with the families of the hostages to explain the possibility that the ground operation could threaten the safety of the 229 hostages in Gaza," adding, "Families are worried about the fate of their loved ones and are waiting for an explanation. Every minute feels like an eternity."

Since Hamas's surprise attack on the 7th, Israel has been conducting massive airstrikes on the Palestinian Gaza Strip, the stronghold of Hamas, for over three weeks. According to Israel, among the civilian hostages, 33 are minors under the age of 18, and among them, 10 are infants under the age of 5.
