Hamas has released a video announcing the death of two Israeli hostages and claimed that they were killed by Israeli airstrikes.

The video showed a female hostage named in Israeli media as Noa Argamani, 26, speaking under duress, revealing that two men she was held captive with had been killed in captivity. It was not clear when or where the video was filmed and there was no independent confirmation of Hamas’s claims.

The three hostages were shown in a 37-second Hamas video released on Sunday in which the group urged the Israeli government to halt its aerial and ground offensive and bring about their release. The undated clip ended with the caption: “Tomorrow [Monday] we will inform you of their fate.”

In a statement released with the new video, Hamas’s armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam brigades, said the two men, believed to be Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itay Svirsky, 38, had been killed in “the Zionist army’s bombing”.

      Yup. Being hit by a bombing run is pretty frightening.

      Point is Noa Argamani wasn’t there, obviously. She was told that and repeated it.

        Do you think a country starving a population it considers undesirable is genocide?

        It’s a simple yes or no question that has a simple answer if you actually believe in ‘Never Again’

        It will also be obvious what your answer is if you don’t respond.

          Has nothing to do with what I wrote.

            People won’t listen to a person who is an obvious genocide denier.

            Answer the question.

            Do you believe that starving a population you don’t like is genocide?

              It still has nothing to do with what I wrote. You can taunt all you like, but I’ll address you when you respond to what I communicate rather than your beliefs.

                It’s not a taunt.

                It’s trying to get you to say out loud what you obviously believe.

                You don’t want to because you know it will discredit you to other people reading this thread.

                  I’m glad you know me so well.

                    And yet you still refuse to answer. I responded directly to your question above, as you requested, and yet you still haven’t answered.
