Hamas announced on Telegram the death of 7 Israeli hostages "following a Zionist bombing", making known for now the names of three of the seven: Haim Gershon Perri, Yoram Itach Metzger and Amiram Israel Cooper.
Hamasha added that it will release the names of the other four "after having confirmed their identities".
The Islamic faction then said that "the number of enemy prisoners who have been killed as a result of the enemy army's military operations in the Strip may exceed seventy."
