The Remaining Hostages Presumed Alive in Gaza

Stand for Israel  |  March 7, 2025

Two dozen men are still presumed alive in Gaza, after being kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and held captive in horrible conditions for more than 500 days:

Israel believes 24 hostages are still alive in the Strip — 22 Israelis, one Thai and one Nepali. All of them are young men who were kidnapped on October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas-led terrorists stormed southern Israel to kill some 1,200 people and abduct 251, sparking the war in Gaza.

The group includes four active-duty soldiers and several people who had been working security at the Nova music festival, some of whom Hamas has claimed were soldiers as well.

Please continue to pray for their safe return.
