Israeli hostage ‘killed by guard’ in Gaza

as two women captives ‘seriously wounded'

Sky News, August 12, 2024:

An Israeli male hostage held in Gaza has been shot dead by his guard, Hamas has said.

In a separate incident, two women being held in Gaza were seriously wounded, the militant group said.

Abu Ubaida, a spokesperson for Hamas’ armed al-Qassam Brigades, said a committee has been formed to investigate what happened in both incidents.

More details will be shared later, he added in the statement, posted on Telegram, adding that efforts were under way to save the two wounded hostages.

It is the first time al-Qassam has said its guards have killed hostages. It has previously often attributed hostage deaths to Israeli bombardments on Gaza.

In a post on X, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee said: “At this stage there is no intelligence document to confirm or refute Hamas’ allegations….

It's encouraging that al-Qassam Brigades is investigating the shootings. But I don't hold out a lot of hope that someone will be held responsible for the murder and maiming.
