An Israeli kibbutz confirmed that two hostages whose deaths were announced by Hamas in a video had been “murdered” in Gaza after they were taken to the territory on October 7, AFP reports.
Kibbutz Beeri said in a statement it was informed that Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itay Svirsky, 38, had been “murdered” and their bodies were in the custody of Hamas.
“We will demand they be returned along with the rest of the captives,” the community said.
Yossi Sharabi had moved to the kibbutz 30 years ago, following his brother Eli, it added.
Eli is still being held captive by Hamas after his wife and daughters were killed in the October 7 attack, according to the community.
