Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas announced that 33 Israeli captives held by the Palestinian resistance have been killed, with some reportedly disappearing. Hamas attributed the deaths to the actions of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and what it described as his "fascist army."
Hamas issued a warning to "Israel", stating, "By continuing your reckless war, you may lose your prisoners forever," and added, "Do what you must before it’s too late."
The movement included a video clip with its message, detailing the Israeli attacks that led to the killing and disappearance of Israeli prisoners in the Gaza Strip.

Two days ago, Hamas' military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, released a video showing an Israeli captive it had captured on October 7, 2023.
In the video, Israeli captive Idan Alexander sent a message to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, criticizing him for neglecting the captives.
Alexander said, "I heard you speaking to the Israeli public and on the news, and it frustrates me. I heard you're offering 5 million dollars to anyone who returns the prisoners alive."
He added, "The prime minister is supposed to protect his citizens and soldiers, and you have neglected us."
