Hamas claims Israeli operation ended in hostage death

(BBC News) The armed wing of Hamas has released a video which it says shows the bloody aftermath of a failed Israeli operation to free an Israeli hostage.

In the footage, a man says he has been held for 40 days, suggesting the video may have been recorded in mid-November.

A lot of blood is seen on a tiled floor, as well as military equipment, which Hamas claims to have captured.

The video ends with gruesome images of a bloodied body that appears to be that of the same hostage seen earlier.

We are withholding the man’s name — he says this and his age in the video.

A script in Arabic says that Israeli soldiers “failed to reach” the hostage, leading to his death, and that the Israeli team “quickly fled the place.”

It claims that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) used an ambulance to reach the place where the hostage was being held.
