A woman abducted into Gaza by Hamas on October 7 has given birth in captivity, the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a letter, AFP reports.

“One of the kidnapped women was pregnant. She gave birth to her baby in Hamas captivity,” Sara Netanyahu said in a letter addressed to US First Lady Jill Biden.

“You can only imagine, as I do, what must be going through that young mother’s mind as she is being held with her newborn by these murderers,” Sarah Netanyahu wrote.
