In a shocking development, Hamas has released a video from an undisclosed location in the Gaza Strip, showcasing Israeli soldiers and civilians who have been abducted by the Islamist group. The video reveals the dire situation as elderly women and children are also shown as captives. In response, Israel's defense minister has ordered a "complete siege" on the Gaza Strip, including cutting off electricity, food, and fuel supplies. India is closely monitoring the Israel-Hamas conflict, especially concerning energy resources, given the region's global significance in the energy sector. Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri emphasized India's mature approach to this complex situation.
