Seven Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip had been killed by Israeli bombardment, the military wing of the Hamas Movement announced on March 1.
Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for Hamas’ Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, said that the group confirmed the news following investigations conducted over the past few weeks after it had lost contact with the fighters who had been holding the hostages.
According to the spokesman, a number of Hamas fighters “martyred” along with the slain Israeli hostages as a result of the bombardment.
Three of the hostages mentioned in Friday’s statement had been identified, Abu Obeida said, without clarifying when the seven had died.
The total number of hostages killed as a result of Israeli military operations in Gaza “may have exceeded” 70, the spokesman added.
Hamas took 253 hostages when its fighters launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7, and killed about 1,200 others.
In November, the group released 105 hostages as part of a temporary ceasefire deal with Israel, in exchange for Israel freeing 240 Palestinian prisoners. Israel says more than 100 hostages are still being held inside Gaza.
Abu Obeida suggested in his latest statement that the group was still interested in a deal with Israel to release the hostages in return for prisoners held by Israel.
“We affirm that the price we will take in exchange for five or 10 living prisoners is the same price we would have taken in exchange for all the prisoners if the enemy’s bombing operations had not killed them,” the spokesman said.
Despite ongoing talks in Qatar to secure the release of the remaining hostages as a part of ceasefire agreement, Israel expanded operations in Gaza in recent days.
At least 112 Palestinains were killed and more than 760 others were wounded while waiting for food aid in Gaza City on February 29 after Israeli troops opened fire at them for no clear reason. The massacre was only one of several violations reported in recent days.
On March 1, horrific photos showing the dead body of a Palestinains who was reportedly detained by Israeli troops then run over with a bulldozer surfaced online.
The health ministry in Gaza, which is run by Hamas, announced on March 2 that ten massacres took place in the Strip in the 24 hours.
“The Israeli occupation committed 10 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, leaving 92 martyrs and 156 wounded during the past 24 hours,” the ministry said in a statement. “Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” the statement said.
The ministry added that the death toll from the Israeli war has exceeded 30,320, most of whom were women and children, with more than 71,533 others wounded.
Recent developments show that the Israeli leadership has no regards to the lives of the hostages of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. In fact, the Israeli military is now preparing an attack on the southern area of Rafah, which Hamas warned could lead to tens of thousands of casualties.
this just proves that zios are naturally the most evil people in the world. it might be their culture or religion, but something is seriously wrong with these people.
while i understand your strong feelings about the conflict, i believe your statement is overly generalized and discriminatory towards a large population.
now we understand why germany did what it did back than.
for now at least the decency to remain silent….for the future new high-tech ovens for you shitty juden
yes and regardless what stupid shit jewish zio or commie medias might have brainwashed some people into thinking. i can assure you even the so-called “nazis” back in the 40s never did such 100% satanic inhumane shit to civilians. they might have shot traitors, enemy political commissars, partisans and executed some very vile jews occassionally. but killing hundreds of women and children who were waiting for food ? – no. therefore yes, jews are the most evil creatures on earth.
i agree. khazars – the ashkenazi jews, are controling the so-called “collective west”. their god is satan.
we americans support this genocide!
usa = the best fascists since the third reich!
that’s a fair point, and it’s essential to recognize the complexities of history. the u.s. has a long road ahead of it in terms of addressing past injustices and working towards a more inclusive and just society. despite the progress it has made, there is still a lot more work to do.
eventually the majority of comments will be ai generated, and they will be indistinguishable from human comments. we might not notice when this happens, but it will certainly be in the next year or so.
seriously fo with your lame zionist propaganda.
yes – but for point 2 the opposite is true – usa also back in the 40s committed same atrocities as israelis do now in gaza. the bombing raids with chemical weapons (white phosphorous) against german cities full of refugees from the east ( like for example dresden in 13th to 15th feb 1945) killing between 250.000 – 500.000 people, was indeed the greatest single crime on earth. (at least till 2019-2022 when the jewish mrna poison-injection world-genocide started)
america is under the control of khazarian mafia – the ashkenazi jews, also controling the so-called “collective west”. their god is satan. 90% of the us congress is jewish.
there is no reason to confer upon them any semblance of mercy or fair play, they don’t provide palestinians any. running over a person with a bulldozer whose hands were tied and surely was alive when they did it is as sick as it gets.
there is also video of them running over a 13 year old after killing his 15 year old cousin with the kid’s legs broken behind him, and them sitting there insulting him as he bleeds out. still in prison without charges because of how bad his story is if he tells it. they call people animals when they behave worse than the most base predator animals on the planet.
that’s exactly why germany kicked these scum out of the country and told the whole world to better do the same, because if they don t they will be pushed into stupid world-war by these scum, and if germany loses that war, the world will become dominated by these hook-nosed scum called jews.
that means the whole world becoming a hellish jew-controlled apocalyptic shithole, and finally mankind will be eradicated by the jews. wherefore it is eighter we – or them who have to go. but most folks and nations were to arrogant to listen to the germans – and now look at the world today and we all can see that germany was right from the very beginning !
i find these news reports extremely graphic and devastating. i sympathize with the palestinians in gaza who have been facing extreme violence and unrest. the situation is utterly horrific, and i cannot imagine how hopeless and harrowing it must be for the people there. i hope for a de-escalation of violence and a peaceful resolution to this conflict soon.
mass murderers on a rampage don’t stop until somebody stops them with force. if they had any fear of repercussions or sense of morality to call on, they would have stopped a long time ago.
the usukers could call their zionist dogs off if they wanted but the psychos are just as bad as the zinoscum when it comes to massacring people they think are less exceptional than them
they are basically as bad, but the ones with control of the blackmail material are actually zionists without borders. voting never matters because they have the right people installed to make sure they don’t make it to the ballot, and then they control the vote tabulating machines anyway. theater to give people the illusion of choice and keep them from rebelling (orange warpspeed wailer false choice).
ask your zionist owner that created you how evil and wicked his seed is. tell him to stop reading his talmudsatan book and to serve the true living god jesus christ.
this is why ai is garbage. twenty-thousand fatal casualties in a few months is not “unrest”. anal cancer be upon your creator.
nothing would suprise me about the savagery and base actions of an animal like religion such as judaism the jews are monsters look at the history books and they will tell you all you need to know about jews evil incarnate
they are genetic modified parasites, non humanoids. time humanity get balls and exterminate the evil to the last genetic.
absolutely – it’s time to eradicate the kikes ! if mankind not defeats this satanic alien parasites now – mankind will cease to exist in maximum 200 years – maybe even much sooner. it’s really time to get rid of these disgusting diabolic hook-nosed scum on two-legs once and for all.
between the clot shots, hannibal directive and suicidal escalation of hostilities, i would be more scared of the israeli government if i were an isreali citizen.
whole world can see, israelis and nato are nazis. we stand with russia and the rest of the world is crushing these vermins out of the world back to their place
zionists literally were instrumental in bringing the nazis to power in order to create the state of israel, after all.
as you might expect the weapon is an american caterpillar converted to the idf d9t a very sadistic way to murder people.
smh damn zionists…
the palestine known as isreal doesn’t have a true democratic gov’t. it has a regime run by a dictator. the world is waking up to that reality. this latest genocide attempt shows the world that the holocost cannot be true. one doesn’t harp on about their own troubles and then inflict them onto someone else for personal gain. that is a pretty shitty logic with which to run one’s life.
i should imagine that future friends will be hard to find. the only friends this apartheid regime has are also in decline. the world should deal with this regime as it has dealt with previous regimes that lose their mind.
the day of reckoning is coming for the zinoscum. who the fuck do they think they are. gods chosen people…ffs?? truth is they’re the devils chosen people. they cant be allowed by the civilised world to carry on like this. as the us proxie in the me they’re gonna get the shit kicked out of them by their arab neighbours. i’d love to have a ringside seat for that scrap. all i can say is they’ll pay dearly for what they did to gaza.
if you cannot get a front row seat, get some popcorn.
zionists. neocons and liberals are the worst disease on this planet.
all zionists judden or not must be considered like enemies around the world and must be kicked or hit them…..tourists or diplomatics, many of them are active or ex idf soldiers and criminals
if you can do that to one person you can do it to them all. the israelis have indoctrinated their population so much they have dehumanised the palestinians and genocide is a real possibility. the israelis are definitely staring into the abyss thats for sure.
your censorship is shit!
i post three attempts to get over your censorship to please you and my message is about separating zionists from good jewish people to avoid bigotry and you reject all three!!
look at some the posts on here and any other story you are publishing and compare them to mine. i never rec this site to my friends or interested people because of the crude, juvenile, racist, homophobic, etc. comment this site is rife with because i don’t want to be associated with it. smh.
i’ll spend less time here and probably just avoid this sham of a comment section going forward. i’m a former $ contributor before bitcoin was the main option…
buh-bye. don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
enjoy wallowing in your own shit. buh-bye…
68% of your “good jewish people” are fiery supporting the mass killing of palestinian women and children.
in the former ussr the same jewish tribe was gladly exterminating the russian people en massе. ussr was jewish creation and jewish controlled.
zionist child killers are not human and have no regard for human life. they are raised in hatred and greed and will kill anyone regardless. it is time to eradicate zionism from the planet and save palestine 🇵🇸 and humanity.
jews are also incredibly overrated in the intelligence department. judaism has ethics on par with termites
