JERUSALEM: An Israeli kibbutz on Tuesday confirmed that two hostages whose deaths had been introduced by Hamas in a video had been “murdered” in Gaza after they had been taken to the territory on October 7.
Kibbutz Beeri mentioned in a press release it was knowledgeable that Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itay Svirsky, 38, had been “murdered” and their our bodies had been within the custody of Hamas.
“We’ll demand they be returned together with the remainder of the captives,” the group mentioned.
Yossi Sharabi had moved to the kibbutz 30 years in the past, following his brother Eli, it added.
Eli continues to be being held captive by Hamas after his spouse and daughters had been killed within the October 7 assault, in line with the group.
Hamas on Monday launched a video asserting the demise of the 2 males.
The video confirmed a girl hostage named as Noa Argamani, 26, talking underneath duress, revealing that the 2 males she was held captive with had been killed.
It was not clear when the video was taken.
In a press release launched with Monday’s video, Hamas’s armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, mentioned the 2 had been killed in “the Zionist (Israeli) military’s bombing”.
Within the unprecedented October 7 assault that triggered the Israel-Hamas struggle, militants seized about 250 hostages, 132 of whom Israeli officers say stay in Gaza.
No less than 27 hostages are believed to have been killed, in line with an AFP tally primarily based on the most recent Israeli figures.
Final month the army introduced that troopers killed three hostages by mistake, believing they posed a menace.
The Hamas assault resulted within the deaths of round 1,140 individuals in Israel, most of them civilians, in line with an AFP tally primarily based on official figures.
