The Israeli army did not confirm or deny the claim as it continues to hit Gaza, killing dozens since Saturday.
A female captive has been killed in an Israeli strike in northern Gaza, according to a statement by Hamas’s armed wing, as Israel continued its deadly military operation and ordered forced evacuation of Palestinians in Gaza City on Sunday.
Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida said late on Saturday that contact had been re-established with the woman’s captors after several weeks, and it was determined that she had been killed in a northern Gaza area where the Israeli army has been operating.
The statement by Abu Obeida did not provide further details about the woman’s identity or how and when she was killed.
Abu Obeida pointed out that there was a danger to the life of another female captive, holding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the leaders of his army “fully responsible for the lives of the Israeli captives”.
Israel’s military said it could not “confirm or refute” the claim.
