An Indian television station has reported that Chabad Rabbi Gabriel Holtzberg and his wife Rivka still are alive, causing Indian commandos to advance carefully in their attempt to kill the two or three terrorists who are believed to remain in the Chabad House in Mumbai. However, another network stated that no more hostages remain live inside the five-building building.

Indian forces are gaining control of two luxury hotels in Mumbai, and hostages have escaped or been rescued during the fighting.
