Hamas released a video featuring an Israeli hostage, Noa Argamani, announcing the deaths of two other hostages.

The video presented a guessing game, asking viewers to guess which hostage survived.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) did not confirm these claims, emphasizing their concern for the hostages’ fate and their commitment to bringing them home safely.

IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said, “Over the last day, Hamas has published videos about hostages, cruelly exploiting innocent people being held hostage. This evening, I would like to provide an update on the information available to us about these events, after we notified the families.”

The IDF stated that they do not target locations where hostages may be present and are investigating the circumstances.

“Itai was not shot by our forces – this is a Hamas lie. The building where they were being held was not a target, and it was not struck by our forces,” said the spokesman.

“We did not know their real-time location; we do not strike in places where we know there may be hostages. In hindsight, we know we struck targets near to the location where they were being held. We are investigating the event and its circumstances, examining the images distributed by Hamas, alongside additional information at our disposal,” he added.

Additionally, they assured ongoing communication with the hostages’ families.

The IDF condemned Hamas for exploiting innocent hostages and emphasized their moral obligation to protect their citizens.

Argamani, abducted from a music festival, remains one of the well-known hostages in Gaza, with her mother pleading for her release.
