Hamas: Captives not in hospitals, they were taken to care centres for treatment

Hamas’ armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said on Friday that Israeli hostages were not held in hospitals, but were instead transferred to care centres for treatment due to the seriousness of their condition and to save their lives.

They added that one captive was given intensive care and then was returned to his place of his detention.

“The hostage died from panic and anxiety due to ongoing heavy Israeli bombing around where he was being held, and we will be publishing content documenting and showing this,” they added.

The group later posted a video to their Telegram channel, showing a hostage recieveing treatment and footage of him having died.

Middle East Eye could not independently verify the footage.
