The ongoing conflict has resulted in heavy casualties with calls for peace from affected families and international leaders.

The Israeli army has confirmed that one of the bodies recovered from Gaza is that of 23-year-old hostage Hamzah AlZayadni, identified after a detailed verification process.

His father, Yosef AlZayadni, was also recovered, both victims of the Hamas-led incursion into southern Israel over a year ago. The development occurs as Israel and Hamas inch closer to a potential ceasefire agreement.

The Gaza Health Ministry reports over 46,000 Palestinian deaths in the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, Israeli military sources claim they have eliminated over 17,000 militants, though accountability remains a heavy topic of debate as civilian casualties mount amidst the war's relentless toll.
