Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hegazi announced on Friday that the number of soldiers killed since the start of the “Al-Aqsa flood” has risen to 310, and that the number of hostages held by Hamas has risen to 229.
“We have informed the families of 229 hostages in Gaza so far, and we have informed the families of 310 soldiers of their deaths since the start of the war,” he explained.
The US Department of Defense said on Friday that it is urging against taking further steps to expand the conflict in the Middle East.
The US Department of Defense announced in the early hours of Friday morning that it had carried out strikes against two facilities in eastern Syria used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
The US Secretary of Defense said the strikes were ordered by President Joe Biden out of “self-defense.”
