Israel-Hamas War: US surveillance drones flying over Gaza Strip to help in hostage rescue| Oneindia
The United States wants to play a more active role in searching for hostages taken by Hamas after the 7 October terror attack on Israel.
The biggest ally of the Jewish nation is using surveillance drones for it.
According to two US officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, the U.S was flying intelligence-gathering drones over Gaza to help with hostage rescue efforts.
One of the officers stated that the drone flights had been ongoing for more than a week.

Khalil al-Hayya of Hamas stated that Israel's bombings in Gaza have killed 70% of the Israeli captives taken during the October 7 attacks. He accused Israel of prolonging truce negotiations to prepare for an invasion of Rafah. Al-Hayya emphasized that any truce must include a cessation of aggression and a captive exchange deal.

Seven months into the conflict triggered by Hamas's October 7 attack, Israeli forces are engaged in fierce battles with Palestinian militants in Gaza, focusing on Rafah near the Egyptian border and new flashpoints in northern and central areas. An incident of friendly fire in Jabalia resulted in the deaths of five Israeli soldiers and injuries to seven others. Despite heavy fighting and Israeli airstrikes across Gaza, Prime Minister Netanyahu has ordered an offensive in Rafah, claiming mass evacuations have prevented a humanitarian catastrophe. He emphasised that planning for Gaza's future governance is premature until Hamas is defeated. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant countered by calling for Palestinian entities, supported by international actors, to govern Gaza post-conflict. Meanwhile, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh declared that Hamas and other Palestinian factions would determine Gaza's governance, reiterating demands for a permanent ceasefire and the lifting of the siege. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with 278 Israeli troops and at least 35,233 Palestinians killed, and has led to severe shortages of essential supplies in Gaza.

In a significant political challenge to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant urged Netanyahu to make difficult decisions for non-Hamas governance in Gaza, warning that the current war gains are at risk and Israel's long-term security is endangered. Gallant strongly opposed Israeli civil or military rule in Gaza, advocating instead for governance by non-Hamas Palestinian entities with international support. He stressed the urgent need for a viable alternative to Hamas to prevent the group from regrouping and undermining Israel's military achievements. Gallant called for Netanyahu to publicly reject the idea of continued Israeli control in Gaza, warning that indecision could lead to detrimental options: continued Hamas rule or Israeli military governance. He emphasised the importance of political action alongside military efforts and the critical role of all government departments in achieving this goal.
