Israel-Gaza war: Hamas threatens to execute hostages

Abu Obeida, the spokesman for Hamas’s military wing, issued a threatening statement, asserting that for every Israeli bomb hitting Gaza without prior warning, they would respond by executing one of the hostages or civilians they currently hold. This threat adds to the already strained situation between Hamas and Israel.

Earlier today, Israel declared the successful retaking of control over the Gaza border fence, which had been breached on Saturday by Hamas gunmen. The Israeli military stated that soldiers were actively planting mines in the areas where the barrier had been toppled, in an effort to secure the border.

The ongoing conflict has taken a devastating toll on both sides, with local media reporting a grim toll of casualties. At least 900 people have lost their lives in Israel, while 687 individuals have been killed in Gaza.

Thousands have been wounded in the conflict, underscoring the urgent need for de-escalation and a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis.
