In the last few minutes, the terrorist organization Hamas published a statement in which it was claimed that seven abductees were killed by the fire of our forces.
Liaison officers accompanying the families informed them a second time today that there is nothing new on the matter, and there is no support confirming or refuting Hamas' claims.
In their opinion, the publication is part of another campaign of psychological warfare.
Ten days ago, Hamas released a video showing the three abductees Haim Metzger, Yoram Perry and Amiram Koper.
In a statement from the military arm of the organization, it was stated that it would update the next day about their situation.
The three were seen in a previous video, on December 18.
Five days later, Hamas claimed that it had lost contact with the group that holds them.
