Hostage Situation Complicates Israel's Response To Hamas Attacks

JERUSALEM - NOVEMBER 06: People walk past faces of hostages projected on the walls of the Old City neat the Jaffa Gate on November 06, 2023 in Jerusalem. As the Israeli government vows to eliminate Hamas, whose Oct 7 attacks left an estimated 1,400 dead and over 230 kidnapped, the fate of those hostages has complicated the country's military response. Families of the victims worry that the military offensive may result in hostages being killed during Israeli bombing or from Hamas's reprisals. Some families and friends of hostages, who remain in Gaza, are calling on the government to trade for Palestinian prisoners. (Photo by Alexi J. Rosenfeld/Getty Images)
