As the Israeli government vows to eliminate Hamas, whose Oct 7 attacks left an estimated 1,400 dead and over 230 kidnapped, the fate of those hostages has complicated the country's military response. Families of the victims worry that the military offensive may result in hostages being killed during Israeli bombing or from Hamas's reprisals. Some families and friends of hostages, who remain in Gaza, are calling on the government to trade for Palestinian prisoners. (Photo by Alexi J. Rosenfeld/Getty Images)]( [2.
