Six months ago to the day, Hamas attacked Israel by massacring the population. 2,000 victims murdered, mutilated, raped, beheaded by the terrorists who had also kidnapped 250 people. Today, 133 hostages are still being held in the Gaza Strip, including three French people. After 183 days of detention, what do we know about these three French hostages still in the hands of Hamas?
