Group’s armed wing says unnamed woman’s death established after long break in contact with her captors
Hamas’s armed wing said on Saturday that an Israeli woman taken hostage during the October 2023 attack had been killed in a combat zone in northern Gaza, as the Israeli military said it was investigating.
Ten female hostages, including five soldiers, were believed to remain alive in custody before Abu Obeida’s statement, according to an AFP tally. The Israeli government has come under immense public pressure to agree a new deal to bring the remaining hostages home while they are still alive.“Nothing is known other than what Hamas is saying. Our only reliable source is the Israeli army,” the group told AFP.
