An Israeli captive was killed as a result of a direct Israeli military attack on an area where she was being held, the spokesperson for Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, announced on Tuesday. 

Judih Weinstein, 70, was identified as the captive who died as a result of an Israeli strike in which she was critically injured around a month ago. Abu Obeida revealed that due to the Israeli occupation's destruction of Gaza's health sector, Judih did not receive the necessary medical attention and died after succumbing to her wounds.

It is worth noting that Judih was thought to have been killed on October 7, 2023, however, the captive was only injured at the time and was transferred to a hospital where she received medical attention and recovered from her wounds. This refutes Israeli media claims of her being murdered while on a walk with her husband in Kibbutz Nir Oz outside the Gaza Strip.

The strike on her location also wounded another unidentified Israeli captive who remains alive to this point, according to Abu Obeida.

Upwards of 130 Israeli captives remain in the Gaza Strip, treated fairly by the Palestinian Resistance, where they unconditionally receive available food, water, shelter, and medical care. However, the captives do experience the same conditions imposed on the Palestinian people by the Israeli regime.

The continuous bombardment and attacks on Gaza's medical facilities have completely paralyzed the besieged territories' health sector. Moreover, the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip and restrictions imposed on humanitarian aid have led to wide-ranging cases of famine, as well as extreme shortages in basic and essential commodities. 

The most recent invasion of Rafah further risks the lives of Israeli captives, who have been killed en masse by Israeli occupation forces in previous attacks on the northern Gaza Strip, Khan Younis, and the central Gaza Strip.

Israeli captives' families demand urgent ceasefire

On Monday night, several families of Israeli captives held in the Gaza Strip blocked Tel Aviv's major Ayalon Road and Begin Road, outside the Ministry of Security, demanding their government agree to a deal proposed by mediators that the Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas agreed to earlier in the day.

Einav Zangauker, the mother of hostage Matan Zangauker, addressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as she was being interviewed by Israeli Channel 12, saying, "This is your hour. Be brave, be a leader. The government and war cabinet should accept the deal. We need our hostages home. Every last one."

Zangauker considers that if the Israeli government misses the chance to agree to the deal, this might be the last chance for her to see her son. This is due to the fact that reports indicate that captives are currently being safely held in Rafah by the Palestinian Resistance.

A group representing Israeli captives' families has also welcomed the deal that Hamas agreed to, saying that the movement's announcement will push forward the return of 132 Israeli captives. 

"It is now time for the Israeli government to turn its commitments toward its citizens into action. The cabinet should take Hamas' approval and turn it into a deal to return everyone (all captives)," the group stated.
