In a concerning escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, has issued a threat to execute Israeli captives if Israel continues its bombardment and targeting of civilians in Gaza. Abu Obeida, a spokesman for the Qassam Brigades, stated that any attack on innocent civilians without warning would lead to regretful executions of captives in their custody. This threat comes amidst the ongoing military airstrikes conducted by Israel on Gaza.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army radio has reported that military operations in Gaza will persist, even if they endanger the lives of Israeli captives. The Israeli military emphasised its commitment to powerful and widespread attacks on Hamas targets, while acknowledging that it would refrain from targeting locations with accurate intelligence about captive Israelis.
