As Gaza ground invasion looms, mediators try to free more than 100 hostages

Romi Gonen, 23, was part of a group that tried to flee Hamas militants Saturday morning. She told her mother she had been shot in her hand and has not been in contact with her family since.

While Israel has previously gone to great lengths to secure the release of hostages, experts say the current situation is unprecedented and complex because the hostages are being held in a war zone and Israel remains determined to punish Hamas for its attacks and brutal killing of more than 1,200 Israelis.
