Hamas' military spokesperson, Abu Obaida, revealed that communication was recently reestablished with operatives tasked with guarding 'Israeli' captives in northern Gaza, an area facing intense 'Israeli' bombardment.

 

He announced that one female 'Israeli' captive had been killed and warned that the life of another remains at risk.

 

In a statement shared via his Telegram channel, Abu Obaida placed full responsibility for the captives' safety on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government. He accused them of endangering the captives’ lives due to their ongoing military aggression.

 

Abu Obaida further stated that "the enemy must prepare to face the dilemma of missing remains of its dead captives," hinting at the destruction caused by relentless airstrikes on Gaza.

 

Following the announcement, Hamas published two photos of a body, captioning them as "a new victim of Netanyahu and [Israeli Occupation Forces Chief] Herzi Halevi."
