Families of 203 people have been informed of the abduction of their relatives by Hamas to the sealed-off Gaza Strip, the Israeli army confirms.
Previously, there had been estimates of at least 199 people.
Hundreds of Hamas fighters attacked Israel on October 7 and killed over 1,400 people as well as kidnapping others.
