Hamas accuses Israel of killing three more hostages in its attacks on Gaza

INTERNATIONAL / By Luis Moreno

The Ezzeldin al Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), assured this Thursday that the constant attacks by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on the Gaza Strip have caused the death of three more of the hostages taken by the Palestinian militia.

The armed wing of Hamas has published a video in which they assure that their intention was to keep the hostages alive, but that the Israeli Government of Benjamin Netanyahu “insists on killing them”. The IDF acknowledged last week that it mistakenly killed three hostages during an operation in Shejaiya, Gaza City.

The aforementioned video – which circulates on social networks and is reported by media outlets such as Al Jazeera – shows three alleged hostages taken by Hamas and whom the Palestinian militia identifies as Elia Tolidano, Nick Beezer and Ron Sheerman.. “All three were killed by IDF weapons,” the video reads at the end.

According to information collected by the local press, the three supposedly deceased hostages would have Israeli nationality, although Tolidano would also have French citizenship and Sheerman would have that of Argentina.
