Israeli army confirms death of Gaza captive

The Israeli military has confirmed the death of Hamza Ziyadne, 22, who was reportedly held in Hamas captivity.

In a statement, the army said Hamza's family had been notified after forensic teams identified his body. His remains, along with those of his father, Youssef Ziyadne, 53, were retrieved from an underground tunnel in Rafah, located in southern Gaza.

It is unclear whether Israel killed its own captives, as it has done on several occasions by indiscriminately bombing large parts of Gaza.
