US EditionIsrael's army chief says 'combat will continue without rest' in Gaza unless hostages are freed
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 3 – Israel's military warns that fighting will persist without a swift hostage release as 49 remain captive from the October 2023 Hamas attack, with 27 confirmed dead, the Israeli Defense Forces said.
- On Friday, Chief of the General Staff LTG Eyal Zamir conducted a field tour in the Gaza Strip with senior officers, assessing recent achievements and planning continued operations under Operation Gideon’s Chariots.
- Mediated by the United States, Egypt and Qatar, talks to secure a ceasefire and hostage release broke down last month, prompting calls in Israel for tougher military action.
- According to the Hamas-run territory’s health ministry, at least 60,332 Palestinians have been killed, and aid agencies warn Gaza faces a catastrophic famine due to Israeli restrictions.
- Zamir warned there will be no respite in fighting if negotiations fail to secure hostages, and he estimated that in the coming days they will know whether an agreement is possible.
- Amid growing tensions, the Hague barred two ministers, and EU countries, including Spain and the Netherlands, conducted aid airlifts earlier this week, pressuring Israel.
