CNN's Amanpour apologizes for claiming hostages treated better than Gazans⁠⁠Christiane Amanpour sparked backlash Monday after saying Israeli hostages were "probably treated better than the average Gazan" because Hamas used them as bargaining chips. She later apologized, calling her comments "insensitive and wrong" and acknowledging hostages told her about barely breathing in tunnels, being starved, forbidden to cry, and forced to dig their own graves during 738 days of captivity.

According to various reports and videos, at least 33 people were shot dead across several neighborhoods after being accused of spying for Israel or belonging to rival armed groups.
