Hamas kills one hostage and wounds two
2024-08-13
[JPost] IDF says it lacks the necessary intelligence to confirm or deny Hamas's claims at this time.

One hostage held by Hamas in Gaza has been killed by the Hamas terrorist assigned to guard him, and another two female hostages have been seriously injured, the spokesperson of the Hamas armed wing, Abu Obeida, announced on Telegram on Monday.
"Look what you made me do"
The terrorist group stated that a committee was formed to investigate the incident and will announce the details later.

The IDF has reported that it does not have the intelligence support to confirm or deny the Hamas claims and will continue to inspect the reliability of the messages and uncover more information.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated in a confidential review before the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that "the number of hostages who are still alive within the humanitarian category is between 20 - 35, depending on the interpretation," KAN news reported on Monday evening.
Hostage talks

Hamas said on Sunday it had asked mediators to present a plan based upon past talks instead of engaging in new negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire deal and declined to attend the scheduled hostage ceasefire talks on Thursday.
