By Nour Abu Aisha

GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) - Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades released on Thursday a video of three Israeli hostages, claiming that they were killed by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.

The video, posted on Telegram by Al-Qassam, showed footage of the three hostages identified as Eliya Tolidano, Nek Birz, and Ron Sherman.

“Despite our efforts to preserve their lives, Netanyahu insists on killing them,” Al-Qassam said in the video.

After displaying scenes of the three hostages together, Al-Qassam added, “all three were killed by the weapons of your army,” without specifying the location or the circumstances of their deaths.

This is not the first time that Al-Qassam has announced the death of Israeli prisoners held by Palestinian resistance by Israeli gunfire since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip.

Previously, Al-Qassam had published videos featuring Israeli prisoners held by them, demanding their government to work on their release.
