An old frontline has apparently reopened in the war between Israeli forces and Hamas fighters in Gaza. Witnesses describe heavy fighting in and around the town of Jabaliya in northern Gaza. Israel's army described the clashes as 'perhaps the fiercest' in over seven months of war. Hours earlier, the Israeli military announced that it had recovered the bodies of three Israeli hostages in Gaza. Among them is German-Israeli Shani Louk, whose body was seen in the back of a pickup truck in videos of the October 7 terror attack. She was declared dead later that month after fragments of her skull were found. The army says she, along with Amit Buskila and Itzhak Gelerenter, were killed by Hamas at the Nova music festival and their bodies taken into Gaza.
