Rafah, Oct 26: Palestinian militant organisation Hamas on Thursday said that around 50 hostages have been killed in the Israeli airstrikes, according to Reuters.
Abu Obeida, a spokesman for the al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing, issued a statement saying the estimated number of captives killed in Gaza due to Israeli strikes was around 50.
Hamas had taken 200-plus hostages after they launched the most brutal attack in years on Israel. So far, they have released four captives while the rest of them are still there in Gaza, which has seen massive airstrikes since October 7. (Agencies)
