Over 95 hostage families have been informed by the Israeli authorities that their relatives were abducted and taken into Gaza. The IDF says over 5,000 rockets have been fired into Israel since Saturday. Israel has conducted over 2,600 strikes on Gaza targets. At least 1,200 Israelis have been killed and 3,000+ injured in Hamas's weekend attacks. Amid the violence, airline group IAG, including British Airways and Aer Lingus, has canceled Israel operations for three weeks to see how the situation unfolds, per its CEO. This comes after British Airways turned back a Tel Aviv-bound plane Wednesday over security worries. The statements highlight the growing global impact and transit disruptions as the conflict escalates, with mass casualties and expanded bombardments from both sides.
