The unverified claim comes as representatives from Hamas paid a visit to Moscow.
“Approximately 50 people” have died “as a result of” Israel’s bombing campaigns, the Al-Qassam Brigades said on Telegram.
“Hamas is trying to manipulate the world by creating a false narrative in order to stop Israel's attacks on their terror infrastructure,” the official told The Daily Beast. “Regardless of what Hamas claims, any harm done to hostages is Hamas’s responsibility and they will be held accountable. Israel will continue to demand that Hamas release all hostages immediately and unconditionally.”
The Biden administration has been lobbying Israel to conduct a “humanitarian pause” in order to allow more aid into Gaza, which is facing a dire humanitarian situation as fuel supplies run low and hospitals are well past the breaking point. Israeli officials have reportedly agreed to delay a planned ground invasion of Gaza in order to allow for aid deliveries and maintain diplomatic efforts to secure hostages’ release.
