India has called for the immediate release of all hostages in Gaza and the continued delivery of humanitarian aid, as confirmed by Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal on X.

Meanwhile, Israel has ramped up military strikes on Hamas targets, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office declaring intensified action. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported overnight airstrikes targeting Hamas military sites and vessels allegedly used for terrorist activities.

According to Al Jazeera, the recent Israeli strikes have killed over 400 people, with hundreds more injured. The situation remains dire, with fears of further escalation as international mediators struggle to broker peace.

With diplomatic efforts intensifying, the world watches anxiously: will hostages be freed, or will the violence spiral into an even deadlier conflict?
