Daniel Hagari, the spokesman of zionist occupation military, disclosed this information during a news briefing, emphasizing that "224 families of abducted people received notifications" regarding their relatives being held captive in the Palestinian enclave.

The ZOF's updated data on missing and abducted individuals is initially shared with their families before being made public. This approach prioritizes the families' knowledge and concerns in this distressing situation.

Earlier in the week, the ZOF had reported the number of hostages in the Gaza Strip at 222. The increase in the count underscores the ongoing challenges and complexities faced in the region, as efforts continue to secure the release and safety of those held captive. (ILKHA)
