A relative of two Israeli Arab Bedouins held hostage by Hamas in Gaza has pleaded for their release. The hostages, Youssef al-Zayadna and Hamza al-Zayadna are sick and have nothing to do with the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7 led to the death of about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and the taking of around 240 hostages. Israel retaliated with an offensive that killed at least 18,787 people.
