One specific strike which the IDF emphasized was against a Nukhba terrorist who took part in the October 7 massacre.
Hamas published a second video shortly after, depicting a CGI Netanyahu digging graves in a graveyard full of Israeli hostages.
Hamas has issued new instructions to guards on handling hostages if Israeli troops approach hostage holding sites.
Hamas: "The guard acted in a vengeful manner contrary to instructions after receiving news of the martyrdom of his two children."
IDF says it lacks the necessary intelligence to confirm or deny Hamas's claims at this time.
In his first televised appearance for several weeks, Abu Obeida said many of the hostages "may have been killed," blaming their fate on Israel.
The IDF is positioned to proactively target Hamas's core strength, potentially accelerating the negotiations for releasing captives, rather than merely responding to terror attacks.
“We demand that no move be taken that endangers the fate of our family member, and that every action takes their well-being into account,” said Leshem Gonen.
