Hamas announced it would execute civilian hostages in response to Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and the ongoing ground operation in the enclave.
As reported by “The Times of Israel”, this announcement was made by the representative of the “Al-Qassam Brigades” Abu Ubayd.
“From this hour onwards, we will respond to any attack on our people and their homes by executing civilian hostages without warning, which we will broadcast via video and audio,” the Hamas member said.
As the newspaper writes, citing senior Israeli sources, the country’s army will attack the Gaza Strip even in cases where it would pose a potential threat to the hostages held there.
If verified information is received that there are certainly hostages in some building in the Gaza Strip, Israeli attacks will not be carried out.
Attack on Israel
On the morning of October 7, the largest attack on Israel by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in recent years took place. Five hours after the attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech to citizens, declaring that “there was no operation or escalation, this is war.” He also announced that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) would immediately use all its might to destroy Hamas.
On October 8, Netanyahu announced the end of the first phase of the war, warning that it would be long and difficult. The IDF has declared the Gaza Strip a closed military zone and repeatedly attacked targets within it.
On October 9, the chief representative of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Admiral Daniel Hagari, said that Israeli forces had regained control of all border towns attacked by militants.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant ordered a complete blockade of Gaza. Food, water and electricity supplies were suspended.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today that the campaign to defeat Hamas “has only just begun.” The number of deaths in Gaza exceeds 500.
