According to the military wing of Hamas, over the last 24 hours, nine captives have lost their lives as a result of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. This information was reported on Saturday.

These include five Israelis and four foreigners, Al-Qassam Brigades said in a statement, noting that they had been killed by Israeli "strikes on locations where the prisoners were held", without elaborating.

The most recent fatalities increased the total death toll to 22 out of the approximately 150 hostages, including Israelis, foreigners, and individuals with dual nationality, who were taken captive by Hamas fighters on October 7.

'Israel' responsible of war crimes

The Head of the Hamas Political Bureau Ismail Haniyeh issued a formal accusation against "Israel" in a letter addressed to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

"Israeli atrocities amount to war crimes," Haniyeh wrote in regards the obstruction of humanitarian assistance to Gaza. 

The letter was posted in full on the Palestinian group's website.

Families of hostages outraged

Earlier today, sources reported that family members of several Israelis captured by the Palestinian Resistance during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood held an angry protest outside the Israeli Security Ministry in "Tel Aviv" and blocked "Kaplan Street".

The protesters expressed outrage at the performance of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asking, "Where is the army? Where is Netanyahu's son, is he in Miami?" referring to the reason he was not on the frontlines with their captured family members.

Demonstrators further warned the Prime Minister that the current movement is just the beginning.
