Anat Angrest says son held in Gaza City area being hit by IDF; hostage families descend on PM’s home for overnight protest

The mother of hostage Matan Angrest says her son is being held in the area currently being struck by the IDF in Gaza City.

“I won’t let this be his last night (alive). I’m on my way to the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem. Come with me!” Anat Angrest tweets.

The IDF has said that it is taking steps to avoid targeting areas where the hostages are held, though, it has in the past unknowingly done so, leading Hamas captors to execute several hostages.

Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is also being held in Gaza, tweets, “We hear the bombings on our children and we can’t sit at home.”

She accused Netanyahu of deciding to kill the hostages and of “sacrificing an entire country for his political survival.

“We are going out to demand the return of our children in a comprehensive deal to end the war,” Zangauker adds.

Hostage Nimrod Cohen’s mother Vicky Cohen addresses her son directly in an X post.

“My child, I know that the bombings around you are shaking the tunnel you are in,” she writes.

“I wish I could just tell you to take care of yourself, but we both know that this is not in your control. I am sending you strength and asking you: Be strong, and don’t break.”
