Abu Obeida says Israeli captive killed, two others wounded in Gaza

The spokesperson for the Hamas Movement’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, said on Monday evening that an Israeli captive has been killed by his guards in Gaza.

In a statement on Telegram, Abu Obeida said two female Israeli captives sustained serious wounds in a separate incident.

Attempts to save their lives are under way, he said, adding that a committee has been formed to investigate the incident and that details will be announced later.

Israel has launched a devastating offensive on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023. Nearly 40,000 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 92,000 injured, according to local health authorities.
