The Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, announced this Tuesday the death of 77-year-old Hannah Katzir, who was abducted from the Nir Oz kibbutz in southern Israel on October 7.
Abu Hamza, spokesman for the Jerusalem Brigades, reminded: They have already expressed their desire to release for two weeks Katzir and 13-year-old Yagil Yaako were also detained for humanitarian reasons. In this sense, he assured that Israel’s “delay” in reaching an agreement led to the death of the hostage.
In a brief statement reported by the Al Jazeera network, Abu Hamza said: “We renounce any responsibility for the captive hostages in our possession due to the ongoing and barbaric bombardment of every square centimeter of the Gaza Strip.” said.
This came after assurances from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “There are stages to war”and the possible release of the hostages will not mean the end of Israel’s military campaign to destroy the structures of Palestinian militias in the Gaza Strip.
