Gallant to meet with relatives of Gaza hostages as ground operation intensifies
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant will meet tomorrow with representatives of the families of those held hostage in Gaza amid concerns for their well-being amid the intensifying operation.
The announcement comes after relatives of the 229 confirmed hostages held in the Gaza Strip issued an urgent appeal for a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Gallant and other members of the war cabinet amid fears for the safety of their loved ones as the military conducted a massive strike on Hamas tunnels and bunkers in the northern part of the enclave and ground forces went in.
