Defense Minister Yoav Gallant holds a meeting with military and intelligence chiefs “focused on efforts to return the hostages held in Gaza,” his office says.

Gallant met with IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Mossad director David Barnea and Shin Bet chief Tomer Bar, along with other senior officers.

The meeting comes in the wake of the mistaken killing of three hostages by the IDF yesterday and the ongoing breakdown in talks over a fresh hostage deal.
