This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hamas fighters took about 250 Israelis and other nationals to Gaza in its brutal attack which left 1,200 people dead.
The group has used the hostages as leverage in cease-fire negotiations with Israel, with more than 100 exchanged in November for Palestinian prisoners during a weeklong pause in fighting.
About 80 hostages held in Gaza are believed to be still alive, according to the Israeli government.
In March, Hamas claimed the men were killed by Israeli strikes.
Hamas said numerous hostages have been killed by Israel’s ground and air operations in Gaza.
Protesters blocked a Tel Aviv highway on Monday night to demand the Israeli government reach an agreement with Hamas for the release of the surviving hostages.
