The headquarters of families working to return the hostages has responded to the launch of 'Operation Gideon's Chariots' in the Gaza Strip, stating that 'the current policy kills the living and erases the deceased. Every bombing, every delay increases the danger.' According to the headquarters, the operation could lead to the death of living hostages and 'eliminate the chance of returning the deceased.' They further stated: 'We must bring everyone back - the living for rehabilitation, the deceased for burial. Israel can now choose life and return all hostages, this is the time to choose whether to save lives or abandon them.'
