Israeli strikes killed 33 hostages: Hamas

GAZA/JERUSALEM — Hamas said on Monday that 33 Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip have been killed, with some others still missing, because of Israeli military operations.

A video posted by Hamas included footage of past Israeli attacks on areas in Gaza where Israeli hostages were held, resulting in their deaths, as well as messages from some hostages.

Hamas warned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "obstinacy and continued aggression are increasing the death toll of enemy prisoners", emphasizing that if the "crazy war" continues, "you may lose your prisoners forever". "Do what you have to do before it is too late", it added.
