One year ago, an Argentinian-Israeli mother was filmed holding tightly to her two red-headed sons while being herded into a car by armed Hamas militants. The video circulated worldwide, sparking widespread anger and illustrating the horror of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, which killed at least 1,400 people and saw around 250 taken captive in the Gaza Strip.
Today, approximately 101 Israeli citizens are still being held hostage by Hamas. According to Blue Ribbons, a U.S. grassroots initiative lobbying for the hostages, 64 hostages are presumed to be alive and 33 dead.
