Hamas says Israeli air strikes killed two captives, seriously wounded eight

Hamas's armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, said Israeli air strikes across Gaza in the past 96 hours killed two Israeli captives and seriously wounded eight others. 

In a communique published on its Telegram page, al-Qassam said the conditions of those wounded are worsening as it struggles to treat them amid continued Israeli attacks on the health system in Gaza. 

"Their conditions are becoming more dangerous in light of the inability to provide them with appropriate treatment. The enemy (Israel) bears full responsibility for the lives of those injured in light of their continued bombing," the statement said.

Middle East Eye could not independently verify the claim.
