Gaza operations ongoing despite captive’s release

A security official told Channel 12 that Israeli forces have not received orders to halt Gaza operations, according to Middle East Eye on May 12th. 

This comes after a Hamas source claimed that Israel would temporarily pause its military actions to allow for the release of Edan Alexander, a US-Israeli dual national held captive.

According to the network, a source stated that “Adjustments have been made for the release, but the army continues with normal operations.”
