Israeli captive killed in northern Gaza: Hamas

Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for Hamas' armed wing, said an Israeli woman held captive in northern Gaza was killed.

Abu Obeida says she was killed when Israeli forces struck the area where she was being held.

"After re-establishing contact weeks later with those assigned to protect the captives, it emerged a woman was killed in an area under Israeli fire in the northern Gaza Strip," he said.

He added that another female Israeli captive was critically wounded and that her life was in danger.

Abu Obeida held Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government responsible for the lives of all captives.
