Hamas lose contact with two captives during Gaza fighting

Hamas's armed wing said on Sunday it lost contact with two captives, Matan Angrest and Omri Miran, during Israeli military operations in two Gaza City neighbourhoods.

In a statement, the al-Qassam Brigades said it had demanded that Israel halt air sorties for 24 hours, starting at 6:00 p.m., in part of Gaza City to remove the captives from danger.
