Israel Issues An Ultimatum Before Ramadan: Release Hostages or Elsewhere Talks about the IDF Action Hostages are scheduled to resume. However, Israel is putting out a firm line: either the IDF destroys the militants' final stronghold in Rafah during the Muslim Holy month, or Hamas releases those hostages by Ramadan. This is happening as horrifying information regarding Hamas' horrific sexual attacks on Israeli women on October 7th keeps coming to light. The Israeli military claims it is still expanding its operations in the northern Gaza Strip, where the fight against Hamas began months ago.
