Hamas issued a threat to kill its remaining hostages, demanding more aid for Gaza and prisoner exchanges.
Abu Obeida, a Hamas spokesman, stated that no kidnap victim would leave Gaza alive without meeting their demands.
The situation escalated after failed negotiations in December, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office reported 20 hostages dead.
Ongoing conflict and accusations between Israel and Hamas persist, with the US advising Israel to mitigate civilian casualties.
