According to the Times of Israel, some 40 children and babies are among the over 240 hostages taken hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza during their surprise terror attack on October 7.
On the first day, 3,000 terrorists broke through the border and murdered some 1,200 people, a majority of them civilians, amid brutal atrocities.
However, Israel later decided to eliminate the terror group and declared war.
In retaliation, the Israeli military killed over 13,000 people in Gaza, including thousands of children. Those figures cannot be independently verified, according to The Times of Israel.
Moreover, reportedly, a hostage also gave birth to a baby while being captivated in the Gaza Strip. (ANI)
