Held in captivity: Faces of hostages taken on 7 October who still haven't returned home to Israel
With prisoner swaps underway between Hamas and Israel, the fates of almost 80 hostages taken by Hamas during the attack on 7 October 2023 are still unknown.

With a rocky ceasefire taking hold in Gaza, a series of swaps of Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees continue.
The first exchange began on the same day the truce kicked in on 19 January 2025, when Hamas freed three Israeli soldiers in return for 90 Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons, including a 15-year-old boy.
Since then, a number of further hostages have been released - but it is thought almost 80 are still yet to return home.
While some have been killed, rescued by IDF forces, or returned home in an exchange, many remain unaccounted for.
