Doha:
Palestinian operator group Hamas warned on Wednesday that hostages could also be killed if Israel makes an attempt to retrieve them by power and air strikes proceed within the Gaza Strip.
The group stated in a press release that it was “doing every part attainable to maintain the occupation’s captives alive, however the random Zionist (Israeli) bombardment is endangering their lives”.
“Each time the occupation makes an attempt to retrieve its captives by power, it finally ends up bringing them again in coffins,” it stated.
Israel restarted intense air strikes throughout the densely populated Gaza Strip final week adopted by floor operations, shattering the relative calm afforded by a January ceasefire with Hamas.
Since Israel resumed its army operations in Gaza, at the least 830 Palestinians have been killed, in response to the well being ministry within the Hamas-run territory.
The conflict was sparked by the operator group’s October 7, 2023, assault on Israel, which resulted within the deaths of 1,218 individuals, largely civilians, in response to an AFP tally primarily based on official figures.
Israel’s retaliatory army offensive has killed at the least 50,183 individuals in Gaza, largely civilians, in response to the well being ministry.
