GAZA, Oct 10 (NNN-WAFA) – The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, said yesterday that, four Israeli captives in Gaza have been killed, in Israeli air raids.
Abu Obida, spokesperson of the group, said in a brief statement that, the bombardment of Israeli aircraft overnight and during the day in the Gaza Strip, led to the killing of four enemy captives and their captors.
Over the past two days, Israeli warplanes carried out hundreds of airstrikes in various areas of the Gaza Strip, with the sound of huge explosions being heard from time to time and plumes of black smoke rising from the area.
The Israeli army said in a press statement that, the Air Force launched hundreds of raids on the Gaza Strip, targeting sites including the operational headquarters of Hamas.
Salama Marouf, head of Hamas’ government media office in Gaza, said, the raids also targeted residential buildings, homes, mosques, facilities, and schools used as shelter centres.
In a press statement, Marouf said, “The difficult humanitarian reality places responsibility on the international community,” calling for urgent intervention of relevant organisations to curb the occupation, “which follows a scorched earth policy in densely populated areas and does not even pay attention to the shelter centres that display the United Nations logo.”– NNN-WAFA
