Israel War Update – Day 93
At a rally for the remaining hostages, Agam Goldstein-Almog, a 17-year-old who was released from Hamas captivity after being held in Gaza for 51 days, spoke of her time in captivity, and said “One day we moved from a house to a tunnel. Suddenly the door opened and we met six girls. Many girls experienced severe gender* abuse, they are injured with very severe and complex injuries that are not treated. I can’t even imagine what their situation is and what hope they are holding on to.”

While Israel hasn’t publicly taken credit for the assassination, Israeli intelligence has been trying to kill al-Arouri for years and the United States has had a 5 million dollar bounty on him since 2015. Many in Hamas considered him to technically be the leader of the terror group, because of his military history, and because he is the one who managed the negotiations for the Gilad Shalit deal, which led to the release of over a thousand of Palestinian terrorists, including Yahya Sinwar.
