Defense Minister Yoav Gallant meets with the families of Israelis being held hostage in Gaza, outlining the efforts to locate their loved ones.
“Hamas is absorbing tough blows on the battlefield and will try to hurt us with psychological warfare in the most sensitive and painful places,” Gantz tells the families, according to a statement from his office.
“The military pressure on [Hamas] is also serving the efforts to bring back the hostages,” he adds.
In a message to the international community, Gallant also reiterates “there will not be a pause in fighting until the hostages return.”
