TEL AVIV, October 21. /TASS/. At least 210 people are being held hostage in the Gaza Strip, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesman Daniel Hagari said at a briefing.

According to him, 307 Israeli service members have been killed since October 7.

The army spokesman noted that over 550 rockets fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip had fallen within the Palestinian enclave.
