KABYLIE AT THE RALLY AGAINST TERRORISM AND IN TRIBUTE TO THE VICTIMS OF 7 OCTOBER 2023
PARIS (Place de Fontenoy-UNESCO, 06 October 2024, SIWEL) – Kabylie was present at the large rally organised yesterday Sunday against terrorism and in tribute to the victims of 7 October and in support of the hostages still held by the Islamist terrorists of Hamas.
The Hamas terrorist attack resulted in the deaths of 1,205 people on the Israeli side, the majority of them civilians killed on 7 October, according to a count maintained by AFP and based on official Israeli figures (including hostages who died or were killed in captivity in the Gaza Strip). Of the 251 people kidnapped as hostages on 7 October, 97 are still being held in Gaza, 33 of whom have been declared dead by the Israeli army.
During the offensive carried out in response by Israel, at least 41,825 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, the majority of them civilians, according to figures from the Ministry of Health, controlled by the Islamist organisation Hamas, published on Saturday 5 October. The UN considers these figures to be reliable.
Despite numerous attempts, only one ceasefire agreement was reached in November 2023. It led to the release of 86 Israeli hostages, 240 Palestinian prisoners and 24 foreign hostages. The ensuing 6-day humanitarian truce enabled humanitarian supplies to be delivered to the Gaza Strip.
