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.
