Hundreds of relatives continue to grieve for their loved ones killed or taken captive by Hamas militants during a surprise multi-pronged attack on Israel on October 7. Parents of hostages held in Gaza say they feel abandoned by the government in their fight for the return of their children. Of the around 250 Israeli and foreign hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7, 129 remain in Gaza, of which the military says 34 are dead.
