'Anxiety' racks Israeli hostage families as army assaults Gaza

The families of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip are extremely worried about the safety of their loved ones. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum stated that the hostages are being subjected to heavy bombardment and their families are anxious about the ground invasion putting them in more danger. Israel has been bombarding the Gaza Strip since Hamas launched an assault in October. The air strikes and artillery fire have killed over 7,000 people, according to Palestinian health officials.
