Hamas frees 2 elderly Israeli women held hostage in Gaza, US calls Israel to delay ground offensive



Hamas on Monday released two elderly Israeli women held hostage in Gaza as the United States expressed increasing concern that the escalating Israel-Hamas war will spark a wider conflict in the region, including attacks on American troops. The death toll in Gaza rose rapidly as Israel ramped up airstrikes that flattened buildings in what it said was preparation for an eventual ground offensive. The US advised Israel to delay the expected operation to allow time to negotiate the release of more hostages taken by Hamas during its brutal incursion two weeks ago. A third small aid convoy from Egypt entered Gaza, where the population of 2.3 million has been running out of food, water and medicine under Israel’s sealed border. With Israel still barring entry of fuel, the UN said its distribution of aid would grind to a halt within days when it can no longer fuel trucks inside Gaza.
